Synopsis
When Kelly
Reynolds’s husband died, he left her—the awkward, cautious one—to raise their
two young boys. She’s pieced herself back together, barely. Now she takes refuge
in her routine: running her kids around and running the trails near her Idaho
home.
Two years after her husband’s death, a chance encounter on a run brings Andrew into her life. But Andrew is Andy Pettigrew, the Andy Pettigrew, famous actor. Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five paces in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.
But despite this, they click. It may be inexplicable, but it works. However, it’s also becoming clear that Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame. Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous, and as much as she might want to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. She and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep.
Beck Anderson’s witty, engaging writing yields an emotional tale of love, loss, and all the little things that make up a life. In the end, what is it that really holds us together? Kelly must decide if love can fix two people who might be broken beyond repair.

My Review
I received an arc copy of this book.
Kelly loses her husband to cancer, and is left looking after two young boys. Two years on she is still trying to come to terms with his death. While on a run she has another moment, and bursts out crying in front of a coffee shop. A stranger comes to her rescue and offers her his tea and his jacket. The Stranger then gets a call on his phone and runs off down the street.
The next day Kelly heads back to the coffee shop at the same time to return his jacket, but he's not there. When she gets back home he's there waiting for her. Kelly finds out its Andrew Pettigrew a famous actor. They both have demons to face, but will they face the demons or face a life without each other?
I love this. Got to tell you girls I cried right at the beginning it was so sad. It was heart pulling. Beck does a fantastic job of grabbing you and pulling you in. This story was so real, it happens to a lot of people(minus the famous actor) . I could total relate to Kelly, I love her character. Andrew I loved as well the way he was with Kelly from the start. I loved everything about this book. You need to read this.
I would give this 5/5 stars.

About the Author
Beck
Anderson believes in the power of perfectly imperfect women and in the healing
power of love. Her new novel, Fix You, grew out of those beliefs and the time
to write afforded by the worst Thanksgiving blizzard she’s ever witnessed in
West Yellowstone.
For
Beck, the path to published novelist has taken lots of twists and turns,
including a degree in anthropology, a stint as a ticket seller at a ski resort,
a much-loved career as a high school English teacher, and a long tenure as a
member of the best writing group ever, hands down.
Beck
balances (clumsily at best) writing novels and screenplays, working full-time
as an educator, mothering two pre-teen males, loving one post-40 husband, and
making time to walk the foothills of Boise, Idaho, with Stefano DiMera Delfino
Anderson, the suavest Chihuahua north of the border.
