Book Review – Your Place Or Mine? By Portia MacIntosh

Two reluctant housemates. One question: Is this your place or mine…?

When Serena is kicked out of her flat, an offer from her friend, Taylor, to house sit for her while she and her husband go travelling could not be better timing. But unfortunately for Serena she’s not the only one to have received this offer…

Enter Ziggy: arrogant, messy (and annoyingly handsome) musician, and friend of Taylor’s husband. Living with him is far from ideal, especially when he claims the best room, has loud parties – and the least said about his kitchen manner the better…

There’s just one solution for Serena – drive him out of the house by being twice as difficult to live with than he is! But Ziggy knows Serena’s game and as war ensues between them, being forced together under one roof may result in some unexpected consequences…

My Review

Serena found herself alone when her boss, Diana passed away without a job and a home. Diana’s children decided to dispose of their mum’s café. Being stranded, she is happy enough to accept her friend’s offer for her to stay in her house while she and her husband travelling. However, due to miscommunication, her husband also offers the house to his friend, Ziggy to stay. Ziggy is a messy companion with a free & easy attitude. Soon, Serena discover that Diana has indeed left her something and she need to decide what to do with it.

This book is a story about grief, financial and relationship issues. The story plot is interesting and I like the characters though I might not be able to accept the way they solve their problems. Both Serena and Ziggy have a big different in their personality. I love their constant bickering which started as dog and cat fight escalated into prank against each other. Overall, it is a delightful read to me.
