The Fixer Upper

The Fixer Upper by Lauren Forsythe (2022) 286 pages

Aly runs into a former boyfriend and was startled to learn that he was married and doing well and that he credited his success to her, for pushing him to make some life changes. Aly's work friends, Tola and Eric, note that she's really good at this kind of thing, and as a lark, they start helping women they know by injecting themselves into situations where they play-act near the woman's partner, which helps move that partner to make some changes in how they behave, improving the relationships.

Their Fixer Upper group becomes so successful that they are approached by Nicki, a well-known social media influencer, who would like for them to get her boyfriend to propose marriage to her. When the boyfriend turns out to be Aly's old best friend from high school, whom she has now avoided for fifteen years, she finds herself feeling conflicted. Added to that, she has been dealing with her divorced parents' issues and her quest for a promotion at work. 

This is a fast read with many memorable and/or likeable characters.
