After reading Fixing Her and Fixing Him, I was a big fan of Leigh. She seemed like such a fun character and the books mentioning her complicated relationship with a guy definitely wanted me to see her have her own happily ever after! So I was very excited when I saw Fixing Us would have her as a main character. Just like the first two books in this series, Fixing Us sucked me in from the beginning. I loved reading about Leigh being set up by her mother and the few dating adventures she had after signing up for a dating app. The author had me laughing out loud in no time. Add reading about the characters I came to love in the first two books, this story was off to an amazing start. Leigh and Gabe have a history as high school sweethearts. They had made plans, but things didn't go like they thought they would. See, Gabe had a rough childhood and has a hard time seeing himself as worthy. This makes Gabe and Leigh want two different things in life. Both of them constantly find their way back to the other, but it just doesn't seem to stick. What I loved about this book is that between the normal chapters, we get flashbacks to see certain events in their time together. This added so much extra emotion to the story for me. I cared for both Leigh and Gabe from the start, but this just made me want them to be together and be happy even more. After a certain night neither of them were planning, Leigh ends up pregnant. Even though I kind of saw this one coming, I think it fit the story well. Gabe never saw himself with a family or expected he could be a good father. This ' accident' happening really made him think about things. Taking it slow and just getting to know each other as co-parents during the pregnancy was the deal they started out with. I love how during Leigh's pregnancy they really start to get to know each other again. Because of a baby on the way Gabe learns to be more open with Leigh than he ever has been. During these moments, I just wanted to give Gabe a big hug! I loved how much he developed in this story and started seeing himself as worthy. He's so worthy and then some! Definitely book boyfriend material! The big question is though, does he stumble along the way and will it work itself out? Fixing Us is another amazing installment in this series and the author gave me all the feels once again. The way she writes these stories just drags you in and doesn't let you go. If you're looking for an amazing romance, friendship, humor, steamy moments and just people loving each other, definitely pick up this book (the whole series really...).
