Description
A young girl struggles to face an uncomfortable truth about her mother in this romantic contemporary YA novel for fans of Cammie McGovern & Morgan Matson.
When sixteen-year-old Jill Whitaker's mom walks out—with a sticky note as a goodbye—only Jill knows the real reason she's gone. But how can she tell her father? Jill can hardly believe the truth herself.
Suddenly, the girl who likes to fix things—cars, relationships, romances, people—is all broken up. It used to be, her best friend, tall, blond and hot flirt Sean Addison, could make her smile in seconds. But not anymore. They don't even talk.
With nothing making sense, Jill tries to pick up the pieces of her life. When a new guy moves in next door, intense, seriously cute, but with scars—on the inside and out—that he thinks don't show, Jill finds herself trying to make things better for Daniel. But over one long, hot Arizona summer, she realizes she can't fix anyone's life until she fixes her own. And she knows just where to start . . .
"A nuanced take on learning to fix yourself rather than fixing others." —Kirkus Reviews
"A heartrending story about life not being what you hoped for . . . and being okay anyway." —#1 New York Times–bestselling author Aprilynne Pike
"Broken boys and broken cars and broken hearts. I loved this combination of things that need fixing. Heartfelt and romantic! Read it!" —Kasie West, author of The Fill-In Boyfriend
"Adroit and strong-minded, If I Fix You is a wholehearted page-turner." —Huntley Fitzpatrick, author of The Boy Most Likely To
"I know readers are going to LOVE this book as much as I did. A feisty and strong heroine to root for, and a love interest who is dreamy and complicated in all the right ways. What a fabulous debut by a great new writer to watch!" —Cammie McGovern, author of A Step Toward Falling

        A young woman struggles to regain her footing after walking in on her mother and the boy she's loved since childhood.It's been five months since Jill Whitaker found her best friend, Sean Addison, in a compromising position with her mother. The day after, she found only a Post-it note; her mother was gone. Now, Jill's left in a quiet house with a wounded father and unable to forgive Sean, the boy she'd dreamed of marrying since they were children. She spends her days in her father's auto shop, trying to keep the mood light. One night, while sitting on the roof to escape the summer heat, Jill notices her new neighbor get into a violent argument with his mother. She throws a can of soda to distract them, breaking their window and subsequently sparking a slow-burning relationship with the boy, Daniel. The two lean on each other, sharing difficult stories of their parents. Only Daniel's not in high school like Jill; he's 21, and his scars run deeper than hers. As Jill defines her feelings for both Daniel and Sean in a clear, introspective voice, her mother returns, sending her into a tailspin. Each character's pain is fully realized, and in spite of the love triangle, it's facing the uncomfortable truths of damaged mothers that forms the pulse of the story. All the characters appear to be white. A nuanced take on learning to fix yourself rather than fixing others. (Fiction. 14-18) COPYRIGHT(1) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
