While the ominous (but pink…) drips sliding down the inside cover may look alarming, at an event I attended, Marisa Kashino described Best Offer Wins as a psychological unraveling, satirical, and truly absurd. There are definitely some cringy but laugh-out-loud moments as Margot navigates the DC-area housing market. For anyone who has or is looking to buy a home—but even as a perpetual renter I could relate!—this book is for you.
Though Margot longs for the perfect house in ficticious Grovemont (Bethesda), on this 4.3 mile, easy-paced run, we’ll run through Shaw and other DC neighborhoods where she lives, works, and agonizes over the house hunt.
Afterward, we’ll meet author Marisa Kashino at Solid State Books to chat about her book. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.
