From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella comes an irresistible story of love and empowerment about a young woman with a complicated family, a handsome man who might be βthe one,β and an IOU that changes everything.
Fixie Farr has always lived by her fatherβs motto: βFamily first.β And since her dad passed away, leaving his charming housewares store in the hands of his wife and children, Fixie spends all her time picking up the slack from her siblings instead of striking out on her own. The way Fixie sees it, if she doesnβt take care of her fatherβs legacy, who will?
Itβs simply not in Fixieβs nature to say no to people. So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, she not only agreesβshe ends up saving it from certain disaster. To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, the computerβs owner, Sebastian, an investment manager, scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and attaches his business card. Fixie laughs it offβsheβd never actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?
But then Fixieβs childhood crush, Ryan, comes back into her life, and his lack of a profession pushes all of Fixieβs buttons. As always, she wants nothing for herselfβbut sheβd love Seb to give Ryan a job. No sooner has Seb agreed than the tables are turned once more and a new series of IOUs between Seb and Fixieβfrom small favors to life-changing momentsβensues. Soon Fixie, Ms. Fixit for everyone else, is torn between her family and the life she really wants. Does she have the courage to take a stand? Will she finally grab the life, and love, she really wants?
