Synopsis
When Kelly Reynolds’s husband died, he left her—the awkward, cautious one—to raise their two young boys. She’s pieced herself back together, barely. Now she takes refuge in her routine: running her kids around and running the trails near her Idaho home.
Two years after her husband’s death, a chance encounter on a run brings Andrew into her life. But Andrew is Andy Pettigrew, the Andy Pettigrew, famous actor. Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five paces in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.
But despite this, they click. It may be inexplicable, but it works. However, it’s also becoming clear that Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame. Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous, and as much as she might want to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. She and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep.
Beck Anderson’s witty, engaging writing yields an emotional tale of love, loss, and all the little things that make up a life. In the end, what is it that really holds us together? Kelly must decide if love can fix two people who might be broken beyond repair.
Review
Wow! Fix you is almost a dream, well at first.
Then we really get into it and realize just how messed up both of our main characters lives have been.
Kelly is a widow and mother of two. Two years later and she is still heavily affected by her husband's death. She does realize when she meets Andrew that she may be ready to at the least open herself up again.
Little did she realize at first, Andrew is none of than one.of the hottest actors out there. His life is so different from her life. There is no possible way he could want an older woman with two kids.
"He scoots next to me, and I feel his hand on my shoulder. "In ten years? In ten years I may not still have a career. I may or may not still have my hair. And you don't think I've ever screwed up? God, lets not start in on that list. Despite what everyone in the world thinks I'm real. I want a partner who's real. A real woman who's raised two boys alone for two years. I want you. I want you,flaws and all. I can only hope you'll want my very flawed self in your life too." ~ Andrew
When this relationship becomes more work than Kelly bargained for, will she stick around or will she run? Can she really handle loving and risk losing again? Should she even risk allowing her sons get attached to Andrew?
Fix You is written in Kelly's point of view. It is truly an amazing story. This story is filled with so much love, and yet a ton of pain. Kelly's character is such a strong person, although even she questions her strength. It is always great to watch our characters grow struggles and all.

About the Author
.jpg)
For Beck, the path to published novelist has taken lots of twists and turns, including a degree in anthropology, a stint as a ticket seller at a ski resort, a much-loved career as a high school English teacher, and a long tenure as a member of the best writing group ever, hands down.
Beck balances (clumsily at best) writing novels and screenplays, working full-time as an educator, mothering two pre-teen males, loving one post-40 husband, and making time to walk the foothills of Boise, Idaho, with Stefano DiMera Delfino Anderson, the suavest Chihuahua north of the border.
