Story
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.

But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s?

An achingly funny story from the author of the best-selling You Had Me at Hello. When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her - turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your school days. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, Edie's forced to take an extended sabbatical - ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right? Wrong.

Publisher's Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A gem of a novel.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes an irresistible story of love and empowerment about a young woman with a complicated family, a handsome man who might be “the one,” and an IOU that changes everything.
Fixie Farr has always lived by her father’s motto: “Family first.” And since her dad passed away, leaving his charming housewares store in the hands of his wife and children, Fixie spends all her time picking up the slack from her siblings instead of striking out on her own. The way Fixie sees it, if she doesn’t take care of her father’s legacy, who will?
It’s simply not in Fixie’s nature to say no to people. So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, she not only agrees—she ends up saving it from certain disaster. To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, an investment manager, scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and attaches his business card. Fixie laughs it off—she’d never actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?
But then Fixie’s childhood crush, Ryan, comes back into her life, and his lack of a profession pushes all of Fixie’s buttons. As always, she wants nothing for herself—but she’d love Seb to give Ryan a job. No sooner has Seb agreed than the tables are turned once more and a new series of IOUs between Seb and Fixie—from small favors to life-changing moments—ensues. Soon Fixie, Ms. Fixit for everyone else, is torn between her family and the life she really wants. Does she have the courage to take a stand? Will she finally grab the life, and love, she really wants?
What the critics say
“I love the opportunity to escape with a Sophie Kinsella book, and I Owe You One came just when I needed it. Fixie’s story is one of missed cues, mistakes, and the realization that you can’t fix someone else’s mess until you fix your own - a smart lesson wrapped in a gem of a novel.” (Jodi Picoult, New York Times best-selling author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things)
“Kinsella offers another winning novel.... [Her] reliable mix of humor and spot-on insights into both romantic and familial relationships adds spice as Fixie finally learns to take charge and speak her mind, making this a surefire hit for Kinsella’s fans.” (Publishers Weekly)

listened until the end but almost quit
I normally really enjoy Sophie Kinesella and find her books funny and engaging. This book only had one likable character - the romantic interest. The protagonist was an unbelievable twit and her whole family was completely unlikable until everyone miracuoulsy changed for the last two chapters. I'd recommend a different Kinsella.

Personality Extremes
I like Sophie Kinsella novels and have read most of them. Her novels are known for having characters that make you slap your forehead and usually that's part of the charm. Unfortunately, in this novel, she took the annoying character traits to the extreme with all but one character (Seb). Nicole, Jack, Ryan , the uncle...all of it. The extreme obnoxiousness was too much. I almost quit a number of times. My least favorite of all of her books I'm afraid.

Overall: meh
Personally I found the main character annoying and repetitive, with the secondary characters being also whiny and annoying (however that was their intended purpose I suppose). Everything that happened in this book was predictable and same old same old. I love other Sophie Kinsella novels... just not this one.

I just didn’t find this book to have enough of a story line or love line or likeable character like a lot of the Sophie Kinsella books.. found myself wanting it to be finished so I could get on to the next.
