“Entirely satisfying, an expert balance of warmth and compassion, terrific supporting characters, a little steamy sex, and just enough suspense to keep you from guessing how it will all go down.” — Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionA sassy, sexy, sometimes poignant look at small town Southern life, as only New York Times bestseller Mary Kay Andrews can tell it.The Fixer Upper is a must-read for fans of … can tell it.
The Fixer Upper is a must-read for fans of Fannie Flagg, Sophie Kinsella, the Ya-Yas, and the Sweet Potato Queens, and for every reader obsessed with decorating and home repair.

Mary Kay Andrews’ books are some of my favorite reads….the characters are just that. Characters! When I need a break from mystery and crime I grab one of Mary Kay andrews.

I love Mary Kay Andrews she is just awesome!!
I always enjoy this author’s work. I’ve been reading her work for years and even though the genre and characters have changed the writing remains entriguing.
This author is a favorite! I like the stories and how the characters are developed.
Good read. Loved the Southern gentlemen and cads. Just like a small Southern town!
Loved it! Mary Kay Andrews is always entertaining!!
I love books that take place in the South, and the reviews for this were great so I was excited to read it. Nope. I made it about 100 pages before giving up.

It was a fun read.
She’s always a fun read
Easy to read and great storyline. Loved this book!
Anything Mary Kay writes is a page turner .
