*Amazon Blurb*

Emily Harlow is a professional organizer who helps people declutter their lives; she’s married to man who can’t drive past a yard sale without stopping. He’s filled their basement, attic, and garage with his finds.
Like other professionals who make a living decluttering peoples’ lives, Emily has devised a set of ironclad rules. When working with couples, she makes clear that the client is only allowed to declutter his or her own stuff. That stipulation has kept Emily’s own marriage together these past few years. She’d love nothing better than to toss out all her husband’s crap. He says he’s a collector. Emily knows better—he’s a hoarder. The larger his “collection” becomes, the deeper the distance grows between Emily and the man she married.
Luckily, Emily’s got two new clients to distract herself: an elderly widow whose husband left behind a storage unit she didn’t know existed, and a young wife whose husband won’t allow her stuff into their house. Emily’s initial meeting with the young wife takes a detour when, after too much wine, the women end up fantasizing about how much more pleasant life would be without their collecting spouses.
But the next day Emily finds herself in a mess that might be too big for her to clean up. Careful what you wish for, the old adage says . . . now Emily might lose her freedom, her marriage . . . and possibly her life.

*My Review* 

Who would've thought that being a simple organizational person could make your life a mess. For Emily it's harder than you'd think. She is married to a hoarder who lives for garage sales. Emily is just trying to get her new business off the ground and be successful. Unfortunately, you never know who your client will be or what it is that they need help with. That's why you meet up with your possible clients though, right? Even once the ground rules are set, sometimes you get in over your head before you realize what's happened.
It seems the more Emily tries to help her two new clients the more messy her life becomes. Instead of just trying to help people get more organized, she is trying to help herself stay out of jail.
I had my suspicions early on in the book for the who did what. I was pretty much right, but at the end I was still shocked when all the cards were laid out.
