It deserves a 3 to be honest. It was good, it was fun and I read it in a day, but OMG the toxicity of these shitty people!!!! And they got off so easy, like f that. F those people. Ugh, yeah sure happy endings, but these people are absolutely horrid.
Fixie likes to fix things. She works in her mother´s shop. She knows the business. Then an old fling comes back. All smooth talk. Like damn girl, he broke you once. Stop being nice.
Then she has to take care of the shop with her useless brother who has no job and only chases money he does not have, and spends money he does not have. And her brainless sister whose husband works in another country and she is all I have to stay and do yoga. Oh and her stupid uncle who knows nothing. These people comes in with toxic BS and tries to destroy the shop. And she is playing it so nice. No, just say NO, and or leave. Like yes leave and it would all fall apart. Her siblings were so useless. I also do not like how it all worked out, a stern talking too and they all fell in line. That does not happen. Those people stole, cheated and just no. Suddenly we are all friends again and they behave well. People do not change that fast.
Then there is the story of the Owe you guy who comes and goes from her life. That felt weird too, he is with her gf, he is not, he is. I think if he would have broken up and let it evolve. All these people just seems to suck in different ways
Now what did you actually like?! It was easy to read, cheesy, fun, but the toxic shit destroyed much
Fixie Farr can’t help herself. Straightening a crooked object, removing a barely-there stain, helping out a friend . . . she just has to put things right. It’s how she got her nickname, after all.
So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, Fixie not only agrees, she ends up saving it from certain disaster. To thank her, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, scribbles her an IOU – but of course Fixie never intends to call in the favour.
That is, until her teenage crush, Ryan, comes back into her life and needs her help – and Fixie turns to Seb. But things don’t go according to plan, and now Fixie owes Seb: big time. Soon the pair are caught up in a series of IOUs – from small favours to life-changing debts – and Fixie is torn between the past she’s used to and the future she deserves.
Does she have the courage to fix things for herself and fight for the life, and love, she really wants?
