T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
In The Fixer Upper, the main character Aly has a gift for seeing potential in people — especially boyfriends — and she loves to help them until they become the best version of themselves.
Her friends believe she is often taking the back seat in favoring to help others at the detriment of her future advancement. But they also see a business opportunity, as Aly is good at it. They convince her to start a business fixing up women's boyfriends.
One day, a super-successful influencer contacts her for help. She wants to give her boyfriend a nudge toward proposing. There's only one problem... The boyfriend is Aly's childhood best friend and first love that she has not seen in years.
Funny, heartwarming, and romantic all at the same time. I enjoyed watching Aly grow as a person and seeing her relationships with the people in her life change and develop. The main characters and the secondary characters were also very well written and added a lot to the story.
Perfect for anyone looking for a feel-good best contemporary romance book read with plenty of laughs anytime you need a light and enjoyable romance novel that still packs an undercurrent of life lessons... ✨😎✨
