The Fixer is an engrossing story with delicious twists and turns that leave readers begging for the next installment. They haven’t had an easy relationship, and watching them navigate this new living arrangement is heartbreaking at times. And they all have agendas of their own.īesides the tense political environment, we also get the emotional story of Tess’s relationship with her sister Ivy. From the fixer herself to the kingmaker to the first lady, Tess finds herself surrounded by the most powerful people in the country. They’re balanced out with a diverse and sometmes terrifying adult group. The kids aren’t the only interesting characters. They’re a great crew and I just want to read about all of their adventures together.

I loved her new group of friends: friendly and sensitive Vivie, hilarious and vulnerable Asher, and fair and protective Henry. Basically these kids are involved with some messed up shit and trying to figure out the mystery alongside them is so much fun. She doesn’t hesitate when one of her new friends asks for her help with something dangerous and secret and she goes out of her way to protect another of her new friends when she thinks he’s making a dangerous mistake. She’s witty, caring, and stands up for those being wronged. One of the storylines was actually in an episode of Scandal. The Fixer is one of the rare cases where the marketing terms actually match the book: this is definitely Veronica Mars meets Scandal. The odds are stacked against Tess, and the price for this fix might be more than she can pay. Suddenly, there is much more on the line than good grades, money, or relationships.

Secrets pile up as each sister lives a double life-until their worlds come crashing together in a conspiracy that reaches from the halls of Hardwicke to Capitol Hill. Tess never thought she and Ivy had much in common, but when her new friends at school need help, she discovers that her talents quickly make her Hardwicke's own go-to high school fixer. Soon after Tess enrolls in the prestigious Hardwicke School, she unwittingly finds herself following in Ivy's footsteps. When Tess Kendrick is sent to stay with her older sister in Washington D.C., she has no idea that the famed Ivy Kendrick is the capital's number one 'e fixer,'e who helps powerful people make their scandal disappear. From the bestselling author of The Inheritance Games comes a pulse-pounding YA thriller full of power plays, romantic tension, and sinister plots, perfect for fans of Elite and One of Us is Lying.
