The first in a spicy, hilarious HGTV-inspired romantic comedy trilogy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker!Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?) Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her...“Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com.” —Entertainment Weekly“Fix Her Up ticks all my romance boxes. Not only is it hilarious, it’s sweet, endearing, heartwarming and downright sexy. It’s a recipe for the perfect love story.” – Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute

"Absolutely not. I have never been more flaberghasted and confused while reading a book. I literally said what? Like 15 times reading the first 150 pages. And that's as far as I got. I hate the innocent virgin girl with player fboy guy and this was that to an extreme. I kinda knew it was gonna be not my vibe from the first few pages. But what really did it was that he called her "baby girl". I absolutely lost it. I literally had to close my eyes and breathe every time I read it. After the tenth time I closed the book. He was literally like f-boy personality in a bad way (is there a good way) and gave off major tiktok fboy vibes with the finger tilt thing thinking he's hot. He wasnt. It was cringe. Anyways didn't like it and got halfway through the book before giving up. "
"I was suprised to like this book! I'm not a fan of male leads giving off a**hole vibes, but then his behavior made sense, and he no longer seemed irritating. Georgie is a queen! I really loved her character and how she was fighting her way into being taken seriously by everyone. Light, sweet and funny book with some spice!"
"This is a great book especially in terms of highlighting character development and the ultimate victory of a good romance."
