Summary
Time for our first Book Club of the year! Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino was such an exciting read, and we can't wait to discuss!
We talk about how we relate to the house hunting process in this book, what makes an unlikable main character work, and the story's class dynamics, twists, ending, and more!
If you want to read something similar, books that came to mind include A Good Person by Kirsten King in March, and All The Other Mothers Hate Me by Sarah Harman, and Julie Chan Is Dead by Liann Zhang.

| 0:32.8 | Yes, this was a fun seems the wrong word, but it was a fun one. |

| 1:43.8 | inspirations that you might not know on the surface. |
| 1:46.4 | I just feel like it enriches the reading experience so much. |
