Summary

'This was a fun, fast read. I really enjoyed it! A sweet childhood-friends-to-enemies-to-lovers British romantic comedy.' - Abby Jimenez, author of The Friend Zone

'The feminist rom-com of the year! ... Lauren Forsythe is a bright new talent.' - Laura Jane Williams
______________

An astonishingly relevant, funny and heartfelt romantic comedy about a universal experience that is yet to be explored in fiction: the emotional labour of dating men.

Ever since she can remember, Aly has tried fixing things: her parents' marriage, colleagues' work problems, and all her friends' love lives. But when she bumps into her ex - who has gone from a living in his parents' basement to a happily-married success - she realises she's been fixing her boyfriends, too . . .

Her best friends call it 'The Aly Effect.'

When an in-joke with her friends at the office spirals out of control, Aly uses her talents to set up THE FIXER UPPER- an exclusive underground service for women who are tired of mothering, nagging and coaching their boyfriends through life.

Before long, a mysterious celebrity client hires them for their biggest challenge yet: turning her boyfriend into the perfect fiancé in three weeks.

There's just one catch . . . He's Aly's first love.

And he's not at all pleased to see her.
______________

'This book slides modern romance under a microscope with wry, sharp humour and equally fierce warmth. I loved it!' - Abigail Mann, author of The Wedding Crasher

'A fabulous, fast-paced, feminist rom-com that I couldn't put it down. Packed with relatable characters, The Fixer-Upper is a super-cute second-chance romance that shines a light on love, friendship and the realities of twenty-first-century life.' - Kitty Wilson, author of Every Day In December

A rom com that’s truly worthy of the title

The Fixer Upper is a proper rom com in that it’s genuinely funny and has a gorgeous will they/ won’t they premise.
I was rooting for them all the way and loved every moment.
Well done Lauren Forsythe on a brilliant book. Fantastic narrator too.

Done In A Day!

You won't want to put this one down. A perfect light-hearted look on those small grumbles we all have about our work life and partners. As many women struggle to juggle a balance, Aly and her team attempt to pop your partner's mindset in the right direction. A current approach for exhausted women who need a situation fixed or played forward? Lots of laughs and tears, pure escapism. Fabulous narrator, which always helps. Enjoy.
