Fix Her Up

Fix Her Up is a refreshing tale of self-discovery and transformation, by Tessa Bailey. The story revolves around Georgette Castle, a young woman caught in the shadows of her family's successful home renovation business. She picked balloons instead of blueprints, planning children's birthday parties, and her family hasn't taken her seriously since, so she sets out to reinvent herself.

The Plot

Determined to break free from the expectations placed upon her, Georgette devises a plan to revitalise her life. She embarks on a journey of self-improvement that includes:

• Launching a modern website for her party planning business
• Refreshing her wardrobe to reflect her new identity
• Enhancing her appearance to boost her confidence
• Opening herself up to new romantic possibilities

As Georgette navigates these changes, she grapples with the challenges of self-acceptance and the complexities of relationships. The narrative weaves together themes of empowerment, love, and the importance of pursuing one's passions.

Literary Merit

The novel is characterised by its engaging writing style, filled with relatable characters and witty dialogue. Readers who appreciated the themes of self-exploration in books like Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty or Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert will find Fix Her Up equally compelling. The author’s ability to blend humour with heartfelt moments makes this story a delightful read.
