Best Offer Wins

        為了夢想中的房子，你願意付出多大代價？

       在華盛頓郊區這個炙手可熱的房市中，尋尋覓覓了18個月，並且經歷11次的競價失敗後，37歲的公關人員Margo Miyake收到一條小道消息：一棟位於絕佳地點的絕佳住宅，即將在一個月後上市。為了能夠趕緊擺脫跟丈夫Ian困在狹小公寓裡的困境，同時讓婚姻、生育計畫，整體生活都重新回到軌道上。因此，Margo像著了魔似，試圖在它正式掛牌販售前，用令人歎為觀止的金額，將其收購下來。

       跟蹤？無傷大雅。擅闖民宅？必要之惡。Margo漸漸入侵到屋主生活，她的計謀也越來越瘋狂。就在她認為自己已經成功說服屋主出售給自己時，卻出現了意想不到的轉折。不過Margo毫不氣餒，為了實現夢想中的生活，她願意不惜一切代價。(文／博客來外文館)

        “It starts out feeling pretty light and fun, but I promise you, you have no idea where this story is going.” -Taylor Jenkins Reid, recommended for her Must-Read Book of 2025 in TIME Magazine

        An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams?

        Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband Ian — and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track — Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).

        A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged—but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You’ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.

        Dark, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Best Offer Wins is a propulsive debut and a razor-sharp exploration of class, ambition, and the modern housing crisis.
