I read Roommates Wanted by Lisa Jewell. It's completely chick lit, but in my opinion it's smarter and more creative than Candace Bushnell or the like.
In her latest novel, Jewell follows the story of Toby and his house full of random "roommates". Toby's father bought him the huge old house 15 years earlier and after his wife left him, he opened it up to creative people in need of a free/cheap place to live. After 15 years, the sitting tenant dies and Toby finally decides to grow up.
Leah, lives across the street and is intrigued by the odd assortment of tenants in the house across the street. After 3 years, she finally has a chance to talk to Toby and joins his plan to fix up the place, kick out all the tenants and sell the house. Of course everyone ends up happy and either in love or on the way there, but that's to be expected - it is chick lit after all.
