**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A gem of a novel."--Jodi Picoult,
#1 New York Times bestselling author of A Spark of Light and Small
Great Things
**
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party
Crasher and Love Your Life comes an irresistible story of love
and empowerment about a young woman with a complicated family, a
handsome man who might be "the one," and an IOU that changes
everything.
Fixie Farr has always lived by her father's motto: "Family first." And
since her dad passed away, leaving his charming housewares store in the
hands of his wife and children, Fixie spends all her time picking up the
slack from her siblings instead of striking out on her own. The way
Fixie sees it, if she doesn't take care of her father's legacy, who
will?
It's simply not in Fixie's nature to say no to people. So when a
handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a
moment, she not only agrees--she ends up saving it from certain
disaster. To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, the computer's owner,
Sebastian, an investment manager, scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve
and attaches his business card. Fixie laughs it off--she'd never
actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?
But then Fixie's childhood crush, Ryan, comes back into her life, and
his lack of a profession pushes all of Fixie's buttons. As always, she
wants nothing for herself--but she'd love Seb to give Ryan a job. No
sooner has Seb agreed than the tables are turned once more and a new
series of IOUs between Seb and Fixie--from small favors to life-changing
moments--ensues. Soon Fixie, Ms. Fixit for everyone else, is torn
between her family and the life she really wants. Does she have the
courage to take a stand? Will she finally grab the life, and love, she
really wants?
