I Owe You One is about a girl name Fixie who can’t help but try to fix everything. So one day when she saves a man laptop from a falling ceiling, she gains an “IOU” from him in case she needs anything in return and the story starts from there.

So my biggest issue in this book was the romance. Fixie goes through two relationships in this book, a man from the past and the guy she saves the laptop from. What’s weird is that she doesn’t really start the romance with the new guy until later in the book and I kind of find the romance from the dude from her past kind of pointless because the guy didn’t really like her and it clear that he never had any interest.

Also there’s cheating involved in this book and I’m totally against and someone who doesn’t support it but when it comes to cheating in books, it doesn’t really phase me all that much. So when the new guy does cheat on his new girl with Fixie, it does raise an eyebrow but what really bothers me is that he goes back to his ex because of a misunderstanding and I know not everyone is perfect but that really bothered me.

Also Fixie’s siblings in this book are full of crap but I’m glad they eventually change at the end.

This review is almost a month overdue and I’m writing this review based off my memory. In conclusion, this book didn’t tell a bad story and has it’s flaws but wasn’t a bad book. I enjoyed the story.

I give this book three stars.

Thanks for reading! ❤

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, 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.” But 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 her nature to say no to people.

So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, Fixie not only agrees—she ends up saving it from certain disaster. Turns out the computer’s owner is an investment manager. To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, Sebastian scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and attaches his business card. But Fixie laughs it off—she’d never actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?

Then Fixie’s childhood crush, Ryan, comes back into her life and his lack of a profession pushes all of Fixie’s buttons. She wants nothing for herself—but she’d love Seb to give Ryan a job. And Seb agrees, until 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?
