The Fixer Upper: The TOP TEN BESTSELLING romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod Kindle Edition

by Phoebe MacLeod (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 4,819 ratings

'I absolutely loved this book!' Maxine Morrey

Finding a man is like buying a house: sometimes you have to look beyond the exterior to see the potential underneath.

As an estate agent, Alex’s job is to create happy-ever-afters. It’s just a shame she can’t work the same magic on her own life. Her long-term boyfriend Thomas still lives with his mother, and her hopes of them taking the next step are dashed when he announces he’s spending all his savings (savings she’d quite hoped he’d want to put towards their future home) on an ‘artist retreat’ in San Francisco.

With Thomas thousands of miles away, getting a little too friendly with his fellow artistes, Alex strikes up a friendship with her new neighbour, Callum. Taciturn, grumpy and nerdy, Callum couldn’t be more different to Alex’s bubbly personality.... So why is he the one she wakes up wanting to talk to?

As they get to know each other, Alex starts to wonder if the answer to all her problems might be closer to home than she thinks…

The hilarious bestselling rom com from the bestselling author of An Un Romantic Comedy, perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald and Sophie Kinsella.

Readers LOVE Phoebe MacLeod's books:

‘The perfect book’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘This book fundamentally changed me and now I need to read every romcom I can get my claws on! I giggled, I almost threw my book, I kicked my little feet, and I finished it basically in one sitting … what more could you ask for?’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘MacLeod weaves a tale of unexpected love, second chances, and the magic of warm summer days’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘Phoebe Macleod writes easy to ready, sweet but not shallow books. She has a lovely writing style and she’s the sort of author that I feel safe with, that I know I’m probably going to love pretty much anything she writes - one of the finish-a-book-and-buy-one-straight-after-on-kindle kinda vibes!’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘I love when a book can make me LOL in real life the whole time. This was such a fun rom-com and a safe one for people who like books without all the spice’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘This is a delightfully sweet and charming romantic comedy with a grumpy/sunshine trope (one of my favorites!)’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘It's a very light, feelgood read and certainly put a smile on my face’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

‘A cute rom-com that focuses on friendship and different types of relationships, not just romance. I loved it, the characters are messy and complex as in real life’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

    It took me a bit and I skipped a head a couple of time. I for sure went back and read the parts I stepped over as they clearly added to the story. Great character development of at least one character.

    Thank you.

    L’histoire avec l’ex était beaucoup plus intéressante
    L’histoire d’amour tres cheesy, dvp trop rapide, Calumn devient progressivement si peu confiant c’en est agaçant
    Emma n’est jamais confrontée pour ses conneries et sa façon de parler
    Overall un livre frustrant et pas tres bon
