A common-sense approach to wisely choosing, setting up and living daily with others. Don't move in with someone -- anyone! lover, friend, relative or stranger -- til you've read this book. Lori Stephens offers a lot of practical advice for people considering moving in with others to share expenses in this expensive time. Checking out this book first could save you a lot of heartache. While I didn't find anything truly relevatory here, it's a terrific checklist for things you might not think about in the meylee of having to make a decision about such a significant move in your life. Worth every penny.

This is a very helpful book, with good information and tips for cooperative living. Short and concise, but fun at the same time.

This is the first book on this subject that I've read to date, and I wish I would've read it sooner. I think it would've helped me a lot in forming much better relationships with my previous kitchenmates.
This book may not be the definitive guide on this subject, and it is small but as mentioned it is worthwhile to read.

Ms. Stephens captures the essence of what it means to be a good roommate and how to avoid and/or deal with conflicts that inevitably arise on the path of shared living. Very well done!!
