The Fixer Upper

The Fixer Upper, Mary Kay Andrews, 2009 Harper Collins. Genre: Chick Lit. 419 pages. Finished 7/7/2010.

LesOpinion: Chick lit, that's Mary Kay Andrews's specialty. Like Savannah Breeze, this latest novel is just a pleasant way to spend a summer day. In fact, this is a novel so small you'll forget it within hours of reading it.

Special Note to Mary Kay Andrews Regarding the use of Gay People to Spice Up Your Plot: Think you can jazz up an otherwise formulaic novel with a lesbian subplot that ultimately fizzles out and just makes lesbians look pathetic and lonely in comparison with straight people, whose lives are more complete and real? Yeah, well, don't.
