The Fixer Upper




Aly Aresti works at an ad agency in London but now she has a side hustle as a relationship fixer.  When she is hired by a reality tv star to fix her boyfriend. Her boyfriend turns out to be Aly's best friend from years ago.  While, Nicki, the reality star and social media influencer, seems to not realize her boyfriend's past with Aly, it turns out she does and the whole thing is a publicity stunt.  

Aly's and Dylan's past come back to haunt them when they finally admit their feelings for each other. Nicki uses the situation to further her own social media presence.  

Aly has coworkers who also help with her fixer upper business, and their involvement adds to the comedy of the story.  

Lauren Forsythe has written a really nice book that has way too much swearing that really doesn't add much to the story.  The amount of alcohol consumed in the book also makes me wonder if some of the characters aren't alcoholics.  Just my opinion.  It is an entertaining read that will while away a few hours when the reader has nothing else to do.

Three and a half stars--rounded up to four. 

G P Putnam and Sons and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review.  All opinions expressed are solely my own.
