"I've met her twice in my life. This time, I was smart enough to fall in love with her."
This novel started out strong in my eyes. We are introduced to Travis, who's completely hungover, letting his life pass away after an injury ended his professional baseball career. In storms Georgie into his place and knocks some sense into the poor guy. To him, Georgie has always been his best friend's little sister who would always follow him around and was kind of annoying. What he never knew was that Georgie had the biggest of crushes on him and still does.
When I say I had no idea what to expect from this story, I mean it. I mean, I get a clown for a main character (yes, a literal clown). I have to admit, I didn't know what to make of Georgie at the beginning, but her personality floored me in the best of ways! Such a loving human being that I just love love love! She's always so positive and ready to go forward. You wouldn't know that she's so lonely. She's the youngest of her family and they see her as a little kid. When she makes plans for all the family to be together, they bail or forget. When she calls or texts, they dismiss her so quickly. This had me feeling for her in so many ways.
"I've been dismissed more times than a software update reminder."
I loved how Travis made Georgie feel like she was truly important and like everything that came out of her mouth was the most amazing thing in the world. Travis is a guy who doesn't want relationship, just want a fake one so he can get a job and Georgie is there to help. He says he's not a man of romantic gestures, but boy, was he killing my heart with those romantic gestures towards Georgie! There's a scene that involves a fireplace and Georgie's favorite tree as a child and my heart was melting big time! Travis is completely swoon-worthy and I just want more of this amazing man! I fell HARD for Travis! Travis is everything. I never thought I'd melt over "baby girl" but I did. And OMG his dirty mouth but also his sweet loving caring mouth!
"You bought my favorite dinner and turned my climbing tree into a fireplace." ... "You're batting a thousand in the gesture department, Ford."
Overall, Fix Her Up was another favorite of this year! It's my second favorite! I highly recommend this one if you're up for humor and swoon-worthy romance!
