The Fixer Upper: A Novel

Overall enjoyable read
I did enjoy reading this, but.....very poor editing/proofreading.One paragraph ends with their paying in a restaurant. The next paragraph starts with Tee turning down the radio [in the car].Boxes of books obscure a closet door; however, Dempsey was able to carry said books to a car in 3 trips.Dempsey used an "electric screwdriver." Makes one visualize a screwdriver with an electric cord coming out the handle. A power driver perhaps? (does not look like a screwdriver to those who don't know)Many instances of lower case used in business names, as well as a person's name.The first time she wore makeup while in GA was going out with Jimmy - except when she met with the FBI previously.Once you get past these types of errors, the story was fun, if predictable. The ending could have been slightly expanded IMO. I would have given it 3.5 stars truthfully.

Fun read
This book was fun to read. Great characters, southern charm, beautiful old home in need of repair and a strong female lead. I was captivated from beginning to end.

3.5 really
I liked it but its not my favorite story. The ending....well felt both rushed and incomplete if that makes any sense.

This was such a refreshing read! Thanks Mary Kay Andrews!
The characters, Dempsey, Tee, Ella May….were developed with gusto! I loved the book and the delightful story.Wish there was a book 2 coming!

Sleezy Washington types … all the good guys and a cranky old lady.
A little romance, and a little mystery, and the bad guys all get their comeuppance! For us, northerners, and Westerners, you will get a cup of southern hospitality!

Fast, fun read
Thought this book might be just OK but was pleasantly surprised and quite entertained by witty dialogue and a town full of quirky and likable characters.

better than my mother’s fried chicken
Love her characters and plots. Predictable but fun. MK is a 400+ page writer. Gives her time to develop characters so you end the novel wanting more. Her 200+ novels are okay but they leave one wanting a lot more and feeling a little cheated. Most of us over forty and more relate to the characters. We want to go to the CC and dance to Johnny Mathis. I met MK in July when I was renting a beach house and haven’t stopped reading. This may be my last one unless she hurries and writes another — 400+ pages, please.

What a book!! A rollicking read chock full of believable well fleshed out characters!
I read this book like a person possessed. Could barely put it down to make dinner or do chores! It was a great weekend read.
