I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella books have something special that makes you both laugh and cry while ultimately warming your heart.  I've enjoyed both her Shopaholic series and her stand alone novels like I Owe You One.

Fixie Farr has this irresistible impulse to fix things, whether its straightening the stock shelves at Farrs, her family business, or even when its sometimes overstepping by brushing lint off a complete stranger.  To a certain extent, Fixie serves a 'doormat' for her siblings Jake and Nicole, picking up the slack for them at the family business and at home, unable to ever say no or speak her mind. During a visit to her local coffee shop, a gentleman asks her to watch his laptop while he steps out to take a phone call. Fixie agrees and ends up barely avoiding disaster. The gentleman is so appreciative he writes an IOU on a coffee sleeve and gives Fixie his business card. While she doesn't initially intend to call in a favor from a near stranger, circumstances change and Fixie finds herself rethinking her position.

Fixie is such an endearing character. It's almost like a romantic comedy where you cheer for her at times and then at other times, want to point her in the right direction. I really enjoyed this cast of characters and the way the plot unfolded. The family dynamic was well written and I enjoyed the interaction between all the characters.  

I received this book courtesy of Dial Press/Random House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
