The brand new forced proximity romcom about second chance love from the author of Take a Chance on Greece

Unable to afford their own homes, two friends decide to buy a renovation house together as a project. What could possibly go wrong…?

Freya dreams of owning her own home.

Charlie is struggling to get a mortgage.

When the two old friends bump into each other on a night out, Charlie jokes that buying together would solve all their problems. He doesn’t expect Freya to say yes, let alone yes to a less-than-perfect fixer upper.

Nobody said renovating their dream home would be easy, but will Charlie and Freya fall out of love with the house, or in love with each other…

From the winner of the Romantic Comedy award at the Romantic Novelists’ Association awards 2023, this is the perfect feel-good read for fans of Beth O’Leary and Lia Louis.

I really enjoyed this story, even tho it was so darn heavy on Freya's self-doubt. Yikes! However, I loved Charlie's attitude and so happy that they finally made it work. It truly is a feel-good story.

4.0 out of 5 stars House reno rom com
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
Freya and Charlie were best friends as kids. They run into each other as adults and realize they’re in the same boat. They both want to buy a house but can’t afford it, so they decide to buy a fixer upper together, renovate and sell it and split the profit so they can each buy their own homes. The house is a beautiful old house that needs everything done to it and I wanted more details about the renovation. They take on this challenge, camping in the house as they work on it little by little. Of course, they develop feelings for each other, but each is reticent to disrupt their original plans. I enjoyed this book, though Freya has such overwhelming self-doubt and there is repetition. The book could’ve been edited to make it tighter. Otherwise, I really liked it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Fixer Upper Story
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
Who doesn’t love a fixer upper story? The title and the book’s cover sold me on it immediately.
The story takes place in England.
Freya and Charlie decide to purchase a home together. Both had dreams of buying their own homes but after several attempts they were turned down for financing. Someone suggests if they had a dual income by purchasing with a partner they would qualify for a mortgage.
Freya runs into her childhood friend, Charlie, they had lost touch and hadn’t seen one another in years. He works as a realtor, and he mentioned he can’t afford to purchase his own home yet. It was later the idea of buying a home together might work for them. Freya creates a long list of rules that she requires Charlie to agree and sign before they make a purchase.
The home was definitely a fixer upper, with repairs needed that were beyond their capabilities and their finances. They move in and camp on air mattresses while beginning the renovation.
A happily-ever-after made this story extra sweet. I enjoyed hearing what they were doing to improve the house and make it livable. The stress of their jobs and lack of funds and yet they continued to learn ways to do renovations on their own, usually watching YouTube videos.
This was a very enjoyable story with likeable characters along their journey of home ownership and renovation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023
Quite enjoyed this clean rom-com. It was a little (lost) friends to lovers and a little dating of convenience. I really liked the friendship/interactions between Charlie and Freya; they were a great balance for each other. And while there is a HEA, it wasn't all neatly tied up in a picture perfect way - which made this feel very true to life! Life is messy and has set-backs and this couple absolutely has to deal with those.
This book was completely told from Freya's point of view and there were times when I really, ReaLly wished Charlie's perspective had been part of the story too. But that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the book and I will definitely read more by Emily Kerr.

I received a dARC from the publisher via Netgalley; this is my honest review.

Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr

I really enjoyed this rom-com even though I sometimes was very annoyed with one of the main characters.

Freya and Charlie are two old friends who bump into each other. They are both dreaming of buying a house but none of them has the money for it. One thing leads to another and they soon find themselves being the co-owner of a house that has seen its best days. They spend their days at their work and the evenings and weekends trying to renovate the Oak Tree House.

We get to follow them struggling with the renovation as none of them has any knowledge on how-to. As the renovation slowly progresses so does their friendship.

This story is both funny, romantic and a little sad. I loved the banter between them. This was an enjoyable read and I can’t wait to read more from Emily Kerr.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky Hilarious Romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023
I absolutely adore Emily Kerr's writing! It is so quirky, outrageously funny, and really can make you fall in love! In her latest submission to us lovers of romance, she reunites old school mates Freya and Charlie. They just both happen to be struggling to own their own homes, so of course, they decide to go in together on a "fixer upper." This sets up the reader for a wonderful ride of swoon worthy moments that will have you sad to leave their story at the end of the book.

I wish that every romance book was as fun a read as I have had from the past couple of Emily Kerr stories. There really is not anything more she could have added/done to make this any more perfect. You experience the ups and downs of trying to adult, making a home, and finding your ever after. Each character has little quirks, some that make you realize..."THIS IS ME!" A very relatable and enjoyable tale. Run, don't walk, to get Her Fixer Upper!

Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr

Her Fixer Upper is a delightful book, full of humour and real life twenty-first century situations. There’s the issue of young people desperate to get onto the property ladder, who cannot afford the deposit to secure a house purchase on their own. Then there’s the grandfather who is hale and hearty and full of youthful spirit but whose body is not as young as it used to be. There’s all the unforeseen issues that go into doing up a would-be wonderful property that lacks more than just tender loving care. Plus there’s the situation of a long-standing school friendship that could just become something far more than just friendship, given the right circumstances.
This is the story of Charlie and Freya who start out as former school friends and have a list of regulations that include a ‘no getting involved’ clause as they start out on the property ladder and buy a house together. Along the way they learn about house renovation, including the complex arts of plastering and damp proofing. They also become temporarily responsible for Freya’s grandfather’s perky Border terrier, Ted who ‘helps’ with the decorating by doing such distracting things as dropping his ball in the paint. Unforeseen disasters occur along the way; this is not a plain sailing experience. It is more of a painful journey towards fixing up the much neglected Oak Tree Cottage with the intention of selling it on to provide separate deposits for Charlie and Freya to each afford a place of their own, unless of course things change between them.
Emily Kerr gets better and better as a writer. She can really tell an engaging and hilarious story. She deservedly won the Romantic Comedy award of the year for Take a Chance on Greece and has excelled herself again with Her Fixer Upper. I can thoroughly recommend this funny, poignant and warm-hearted novel.
