Maybe, the family drama reminded me of how I am treated as the youngest in the family.

I tried to get into it but despite it having all the markers of Sophie Kinsella’s brilliance in there my bad mood stopped me from getting sucked in. I’m hoping to give it another try though because from what I saw of Fixie, I can tell I’m gonna like her.<br />As for Hired that book sounds brilliant! I still need to read the first one but as soon as I saw mention of New Orleans and the fact we’re taken to different sites in New Orleans is just making me need to read. Don’t know why it I’m a sucker for NOLA in my books.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-57223049610891283802019-02-17T13:50:34.901-05:002019-02-17T13:50:34.901-05:00I thought Kinsella did a wonderful job with Audrey...I thought Kinsella did a wonderful job with Audrey.

I always felt like her books were more about the heroine with romance on the side. That is especially true in this book, where I think more time is dedicated to the dynamic between Fixie and her family.

I’m not often drawn to rom-com style romances (where humor plays a big part and there’s a wacky main character who has crazy antics - I’m not sure I’m explaining that well) but I so like the sound of this one. Just the premise of the IOU’s is interesting and I do like the sound of Fixie.
