A tight circle of friends/family who helps us see who we really are. The Fixer Upper offers us an internal view of what we should be accepting in life. But for ourselves, we can be the worst possible friend and person. I believe most people try to be supportive of others. I think the author really hits the nail on the head with the deeper meaning here. For others, she is a supportive friend and a fabulous soul. Some have a huge impact some show little results outside, but inside we are a mess.Īly has huge problems and while on the outside everything seems great, inside she is a mess. Some are life-changing some are minuscule.

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. Using little tricks and tips, Aly and her friends get the men to do the work themselves – to get out of the job they hate, sign up for that growth seminar, to do more parenting. So, Aly decides to put her talents to good use and, alongside two work friends, sets up The Fixer Upper, an exclusive, underground service for women who are tired of unpaid emotional labor.

After a chance meeting with an ex who has gone from a living in his parents’ basement to a married project manager in three years, she realizes she’s been fixing her boyfriends, too… Putnam’s Sons (August 2, 2022)Įver since she can remember, Aly has been fixing everything around her: her parents’ marriage, her colleagues’ work problems, and her friends’ love lives. But staying in it for the long haul was a great choice! Read on for my full review. In this upcoming release, the main character really had a quandary and in several places, I really thought I didn’t like where this was going at all. I love to see how the author adapts to the issues in the story and the effect it can have on the reader.

I make a point to read every book and I am always surprised in one manner or another. When you review books, you are in it for the long haul. What do you do? Keep going? Stop reading? Maybe a character doesn’t connect well with your values or their behavior is questionable. How many times have you read a book and found yourself with issues due to something with the book? Maybe it is the writing style.
