Fix You
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Chick Lit, Adult
Synopsis:When Kelly Reynolds’s husband died, he left her—the awkward, cautious one—to raise their two young boys. She’s pieced herself back together, barely. Now she takes refuge in her routine: running her kids around and running the trails near her Idaho home.
Two years after her husband’s death, a chance encounter on a run brings Andrew into her life. But Andrew is Andy Pettigrew, the Andy Pettigrew, famous actor. Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five paces in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.
But despite this, they click. It may be inexplicable, but it works. However, it’s also becoming clear that Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame. Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous, and as much as she might want to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. She and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep.
Beck Anderson’s witty, engaging writing yields an emotional tale of love, loss, and all the little things that make up a life. In the end, what is it that really holds us together? Kelly must decide if love can fix two people who might be broken beyond repair.

“Yes, there are stages of grief. Yes, there are plenty of abysses that seem to suck any attempt at normalcy into them. But routine often saves me.”
Fix you is a beautifully written story that perfectly captures the hardhips of love, loss, defeat, and fresh starts. This being my first (that I know of) chicklit novel, I had remembered to keep my expectations low because it's my first novel in the genre and I dont want to be disappointed and drop the genre all together. But keeping my expectations lo didn't benefit me, it benefitted the book—it made it all the more amazing. With this good start with chicklit, I am planning to read more, all thanks to you, Beck!
Kelly, from self-loathing cocoon, transformed into a butterfly! I love reading her because of their barters! Reading her exchanges with Andy was just so sweet! I loved how beck rode against the tide and decided to write the a real woman because most of the girls around here can't cook, can't clean, and I just love that about Kelly!
I absolutely loved the plot. The build up was exuberant, not at all tiring. I didn't get tired of Kelly constant bickering that she is beyond fixing and all that because I totally understand where she comes from, having just lost a husband, it is really hard to balance a life connected to Andrew—a life of flashing cameras, magazine covers, and constant gossip. So they agree on a friendship, but thier undeniable attraction toward each other brings them closer and closer together to a point that they can neither hide their feelings for each other. To be together is a huge risk for Kelly, one that cannot be undone. How will she survive if her heart gets broken the second time around? Can Andrew, the man that is all that she wants in their moments together, act like that in public under consistent scrutiny?
The fact that the plot was very engaging kept me up all night! It had me crying, shouting, and "Aaaw"-ing the whole time!
