Media

"[An] irresistible, tartly sweet romantic comedy about finding a home. Marcantel takes on the tiny-house movement and uses it as a vehicle to get inside the heads and hearts of young adults whose dreams and schemes, failings and foibles reveal something about all of us. The perfect, timely comedy […] This blueprint is bulletproof." – The Plain Dealer

"Immediately endearing and […] absolutely engaging." – The News-Herald

"A story of self-discovery that is refreshingly honest, current, and introspective. It's not guaranteed that by the end of the show you'll be ready to live in a tiny house, but you'll love the time you spent watching one being built." – Cleveland Scene
