To change it up every once in awhile I love to pick up a women’s fiction and general fiction novel and this one seemed like the perfect one. Full of family drama and some light humor comes a story that had me wound up for hours because I just could not put this down.

I’ve never read anything by Tracy McMillan before, however I have watched shows that she has written for so I knew that Multiple Listings would be both entertaining and a humorous novel. I was not mistaken.

What would you do if your ex-con father suddenly came to visit…indefinitely? Family drama ensues when Nicki’s dad unexpectedly wants to move in with her, her son, and her boyfriend in this comedic novel from successful TV writer Tracy McMillan.

Nicki Daniels owns a home appraisal business, but real estate is her true passion: she lives for open houses and really knows her way around a floor plan. And especially at this juncture of her life, real estate has come to signify the stability she is trying to build with her teenage son, Cody, and her much younger boyfriend, Jake. She’s finally ready to find the perfect house for the three of them and work on a new business venture with Jake that she thinks will jump-start their lives together.

Meanwhile, Ronnie, a longtime inmate at a nearby correctional facility, is getting some good news for once—there was a mistake in his sentencing, and he’s eligible to get out of prison. Ronnie decides his best option to avoid homelessness is to move in with his estranged daughter: Nicki. Even though they haven’t spoken in years, her door is always open to him, right?

Imbued with wit and profound insight into relationships, Multiple Listings speaks poignantly—and often hilariously—about the ties that bind families of all types together.

My Thoughts on Multiple Listings by Tracy McMillan

I think any time you deal with a single parent and all the craziness that they deal with on a normal basis, then you throw in the parental ex-con father who shows up at your door, you have plenty of opportunity to find humor in your life.

I think we all know that life in general is stressful and for Nicki she has found her life plan that keeps her centered. Then comes her boyfriend who throws a wrench in the works, her father, her son, and even her best friend who stresses her out and you have the basis of a real life story that makes your life seem a little better.

I love the writing style of Tracy McMillan and the dual point of views in the story really helped to solidify and see Nicki’s world from different perspectives. The story is witty, with many laugh out loud scenes, and truly an entertaining novel that anyone will enjoy.
