Review:

Oh hell—this book is a fever dream of real estate obsession, emotional unraveling, and suburban warfare. I couldn’t look away.


Margo and her husband have spent 18 months chasing the American dream through 11 brutal bidding wars. Each loss chips away at her sanity, until desperation takes the wheel. When she gets a lead on a promising house, Margo doesn’t just tour it—she inserts herself into the sellers’ lives with unsettling precision. Think low-key stalking, strategic charm, and a laser focus that borders on unhinged.


Her husband Ian watches the spiral with growing discomfort, but Margo? She’s past the point of caring. This is no longer about a house—it’s about control, validation, and the terrifying lengths one woman will go to for a win.


The brilliance of this story lies in its rawness. Margo is messy, obsessive, and at times unbearable—but that’s what makes her so compelling. Her unraveling is painfully real, and her determination is both admirable and alarming. When she hits a bump in the road, she doesn’t back down. She doubles down. And there is *nothing* she won’t do to seal the deal.


This book is a masterclass in psychological tension. 

🏡 Real estate stakes turned emotional battleground 

🧠 A protagonist teetering on the edge 

🔥 A slow burn into full-blown chaos


Thank you Celadon Books for the chance to read this wild, unhinged ride. *Best Offer Wins* is a haunting reminder that sometimes, the biggest battles happen behind perfectly manicured lawns.
