'An essential guide to modern living' - Daisy Buchanan

'This is a comprehensive, thoughtful guide that provides much-needed practical advice but crucially a vital sense of optimism. A timely helping hand!' - Yomi Adegoke

How do you keep it together when you're living together?


If you’ve found yourself asking this question (returning home from a day of winning in the workplace only to realise you've lost the fight for your own living room — again) then it’s likely that you're one of the millions of people living in a house share in the UK, US and beyond.

Between marriage rates dwindling and the cost-of-living soaring, house sharing is becoming more and more common – but that doesn’t stop it being one of the most complex living set-ups of the 21st century. Thankfully, journalist and serial house sharer, Alice Wilkinson is here to help you stay sane when you're feeling stuck.

This is the friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, 'The Millennial Therapist' Sara Kuburic and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.

Alice Wilkinson is a writer, editor and journalist at The Telegraph. A previous editor of Waitrose Health, her writing has featured in many national newspapers and magazines. In 2019 Alice was shortlisted for the Professional Publishers Award (PPA) for Writer of the Year. The following year, she was selected as one of the PPA's 30 Under 30. In 2022, she was shortlisted for the British Society of Magazine Editor's New Editor of The Year. Today, Alice writes a Substack newsletter titled 'Addressing' where she explores house sharing, home and belonging.
