These two are her ride or die, even if she doesn’t feel like they are again, this is something I strongly relate to. In Alyssa’s case, this chance meeting makes her evaluate her love life skills and she decides to start Fixer Upper with her two friends from work. I think starting off the story in this way makes her more relatable I’ve had times when I wasn’t fully happy but was doing everything I could to pretend to be happy, hoping to “fake it till I make it”.
In the very first scene of the book, she has dinner alone in a restaurant, trying to act like she is happy and has it all together, when a chance meeting throws off the carefully constructed balance of her world. The main character, Alyssa, is stuck in a rut work has been less than satisfying, despite giving her all into her job, and her love life is nonexistent. It was everything a romance novel should be: uplifting, hopeful, and, well, romantic. As Aly tackles her biggest “fixer upper” yet, she’ll have to come to terms with their complicated history and figure out how much to change someone she’d always thought was perfect as he is.Īfter reading a lot of thrillers and fantasy, The Fixer Upper was a nice break in the mold. There’s just one catch-he’s also Aly’s childhood best friend and first love. Before long, a high-profile Instagram star hires them to fix up her app developer boyfriend.

After a chance meeting with an ex who has gone from living in his parents’ basement to being a married project manager in three years, she realizes she’s been fixing her boyfriends, too. In this funny and sharp romantic comedy, a woman with a knack for turning her boyfriends’ lives around starts a professional service to help wrangle men, only to be unexpectedly matched with an old flame.Įver since she can remember, Aly has been fixing everything around her: her parents’ marriage, her colleagues’ work problems, and her friends’ love lives are just a few examples.
