What this book is about
Fixie Farr runs the family homeware shop and spends most of her life fixing things for everyone around her — including her feckless siblings. When she saves the laptop of a stranger named Sebastian in a coffee shop, he writes her an IOU on a coffee sleeve. She cashes it in to get her ex-boyfriend hired at his firm. What follows is a classic Kinsella escalation: entanglements, misunderstandings, and the slow realization of who actually deserves your love.
