Hallie Ephron - Careful What You Wish For

Careful What You Wish For follows Emily Harlow, a professional organizer who helps people declutter their lives and is married to man who can’t drive past a yard sale without stopping. He’s filled their basement, attic, and garage with his finds.

Luckily, Emily’s got two new clients to distract herself: an elderly widow whose husband left behind a storage unit she didn’t know existed, and a young wife whose husband won’t allow her stuff into their house.

Emily’s initial meeting with the young wife takes a detour when, after too much wine, the women end up fantasizing about how much more pleasant life would be without their collecting spouses.

But the next day Emily finds herself in a mess that might be too big for her to clean up. Careful what you wish for, the old adage says . . . now Emily might lose her freedom, her marriage, and possibly her life.
