Most Wanted

All Naya and Jake want is their own home. That's not too much to ask, right? 'Shot with dark humour … an unexpected but highly relatable story that captures the housing crisis in all its messiness' Stylist

‘A wildly original, darkly funny love story about desperation, house prices, and making terrible decisions together. Most Wanted is criminally good’ Steve Jones

'Most Wanted somehow makes the headache of first-time home ownership a gripping, pacy and funny story, loaded with twists and turns that keep you guessing right up to that gut punch ending. I loved it' Dawn O'Porter

*****

All Naya and Jake want is their own home. An island in the kitchen. A wine cooler, maybe… Nothing fancy really.

With artisanal coffee shops and microbreweries popping up on every corner, prices are skyrocketing. And as Jake and Naya tour property after property, one thing becomes clear: unless they want to share their home with black mould, they need to find a way to make the market crash. And fast.

There’s only one thing for it: they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. But how far are they willing to go?
