This is a complete and detailed look at an example of successful group living, which manages to be both informative and interesting. It is a good mix of personal, but not overly personal, narrative about what led each of the three single women authors to set up their communal household and very practical checklists and suggestions for persons who may consider such an arrangement. I enjoyed reading it out of curiosity about how this could work in practice. The authors are frank in discussing the potential downsides and real challenges they faced themselves, but make it clear that five years in, the arrangement is a winner for each of them.

Although a how-to guide to cooperative living, My House, Our House would be useful reading for ANYONE who shares living space.

The book is well organized, well written, and easy to read. It is more than a list of do's and don'ts. The authors tell the story of the house they bought and the home they made of it. There is even a menu from one of their Thanksgiving dinners.

There is much practical information about questions to ask, boundaries to set, and other nuts and bolts of making this type of living arrangement work. However, the authors also make it clear that serendipity was part of their decision. They were doing a drive by tour of houses for sale, when one of them impulsively made a left turn down an especially pretty street. There was a small "for sale by owner" sign. It stood in front of their dream house.
