Roommates Wanted by Lisa Jewell

This is not fine literature! It is, however, an entertaining, quirky book! Here is the storyline: Toby has received a big house as a wedding present from his father, who wants to give him his "inheritance" and be done with him. Of course the house is in terrible shape- as is the marriage. Within a month the bride has fled, leaving Toby alone and lonely. So he decides to advertise for roommates - ones who are also down on their luck. He figures they can live in his house until they get their lives together. Toby even makes them write a letter to explain why they should live there. Fifteen years later Toby is finally going to move on with his life. But how can he get rid of the people he meant to shelter for a short while? He tries to solve the problems that brought them to him in the first place. I enjoyed it.
