The Homewreckers

Hattie Kavanaugh went to work helping clean up restored homes for Kavanaugh & Son Restorations at 18, married the boss’s son at 20, and was only 25 when her husband, Hank, was killed in a motorcycle accident.

Brokenhearted but determined to continue the business of their dreams, she takes the life insurance money, buys a small house in a gentrifying neighborhood, flips it, then puts the money into her next project. That house is a disaster and a money-loser, which rocks her confidence for years to come. Then Hattie gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to star in a beach house renovation reality show called The Homewreckers, cast opposite a male lead who may be a love interest or the ultimate antagonist. It’s a question of who will flip and who will flop, and whether Hattie will ever get her happily ever after.

Summer begins with Mary Kay Andrews in this delightful summer read about flipping houses and finding true love. Filled with Mary Kay Andrews's trademark wit, warmth, junking trips, and house porn, The Homewreckers is a summer beach delight.
