“It is possible to stay sane, live harmoniously – and even thrive – in a house share. This book is my take on how.”
The Book Fairies have been busy sharing copies of How to Stay Sane in a House Share by Alice Wilkinson around the UK!
Who was lucky enough to spot one?
About the book:
How do you keep it together when you’re living together?
If you’ve found yourself asking this question (returning home from a day of winning in the workplace only to realise you’ve lost the fight for your own living room — again) then it’s likely that you’re one of the millions of people living in a house share in the UK, US and beyond. Between marriage rates dwindling and the cost-of-living soaring, house sharing is becoming more and more common – but that doesn’t stop it being one of the most complex living set-ups of the 21st century.
Thankfully, journalist and serial house sharer, Alice Wilkinson is here to help you stay sane when you’re feeling stuck. This is the friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, ‘The Millennial Therapist’ Sara Kuburic and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.
