Her Fixer Upper

Emily Kerr

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I really wanted to love this, and the premise is really sweet but I couldn’t finish. The female main character had almost no redeeming qualities, and none of her negativity or uptight-ness was balanced with humour or fun or kindness.

Really enjoyable and easy romance read. I felt like the reveal was a little dragged out - in that some clues felt obvious. But I really enjoyed it.

I loved this and think it might be my favourite Lindsey Kelk book!

I loved the setting of LA, and it has made me desperate to go there on holiday!
I loved the relationship between the 2 sisters and would like a spin off for Phoebe’s sister please!

The romance as great & swoony and I loved the new friendships made.

This book really looked at loving yourself and coming of self, self confidence, friendships, taking risks and it felt like an ode to the past in some ways.

I’d also like a spin off for Samantha please!

I loved this book and need it adapted to a movie please!
