Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr, A Review


 Amazon          Goodreads          Barnes and Noble


Book Description

Unable to afford their own homes, two friends decide to buy a renovation house together as a project. What could possibly go wrong…? Freya dreams of owning her own home. Charlie is struggling to get a mortgage. When the two old friends bump into each other on a night out, Charlie jokes that buying together would solve all their problems. He doesn’t expect Freya to say yes, let alone yes to a less-than-perfect fixer upper. Nobody said renovating their dream home would be easy, but will Charlie and Freya fall out of love with the house, or in love with each other… 

Review

I received a dARC copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.

Quite enjoyed this clean rom-com. It was a little (lost) friends to lovers and a little dating of convenience. I really liked the friendship/interactions between Charlie and Freya; they were a great balance for each other. And while there is a HEA, it wasn't all neatly tied up in a picture perfect way - which made this feel very true to life! Life is messy and has set-backs and this couple absolutely has to deal with those.
This book was completely told from Freya's point of view and there were times when I really, ReaLly wished Charlie's perspective had been part of the story too. But that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the book and I will definitely read more by Emily Kerr.

I gave this book: 

★ = I did not like it     ★ = It was okay     ★ = I liked it    ★ = I really liked it     ★ = I loved it
