EDIT: Fucking outage... I lost my first review.Anyway, let me tell you a story. It was the best of the YA romance time, it was the worst of time when Twilight was made, it was the age of wisdom in Erotic books, it was the age of foolishness when the FSoG was published, it was the epoch of belief in Adult mystery crime books, it was the epoch of incredulity when Dan Brown's Angel and Demons shook the catholic foundation...(you get the gist) and I dreamed of reading a very good YA mystery/thril...
I need Jennifer Lynn Barnes and I to be best friends
This review has also been posted on The Social PotatoWhat we need more in YA is political thrillers. SERIOUSLY. This book was so much fun and so addictive. It’s the kind of book you want to high-five while reading (don’t question my logic of high-fiving inanimate objects).For starters, believe the tagline, this book actually did remind me of Scandal (the tv show) and in the best possible way. I would also encourage you to disregard that bit about love triangles in the blurb because I don’t have
In The Fixer, we follow Tess, as she rediscovers her older sister, Ivy, after a family tragedy. Since the deaths of their parents over a decade ago, Tess has been living with her grandfather on a farm in rural Montana. Unfortunately, her grandfather falls ill with Alzheimer's, and Tess can no longer look after herself. Ivy comes to the rescue, and flies Tess off to Washington D.C., and sets her up at the prestigious Hardwicke Academy. As she discovers that Ivy is involved in high politics, and i...

This is the most dramatic thing I have read in a long time and I'm stressed
Uh... I loved the personality of the protagonist. Very endearing and heartwarming, her relationship with her Grandfather. Touching and rare in this crazy world.Q:As far as I could tell, my history teacher had three passions in life: quoting Shakespeare, identifying historical inaccuracies in cable TV shows, and berating Ryan Washburn. (c)Q:“I’m concerned, Tess.”“If you’re talking about the way Mr. Simpson victimizes his most vulnerable students, I am, too.” (c)Q:The words victimize and vulnerabl...
Thank you to Andye from readingteen.net for letting me review this book!4.5 SHINING SHINING STARSThis book was. So. Clever. Political intrigue. Fitted with a Sherlockesque main character and a mystery that will get your brain chugging away. Topped with witty dialogue. Mix it all together and you've got a brilliantly plotted novel with a genius set of characters otherwise known as The Fixer.I had no idea what to expect going in to this. I was thinking some kind of contemporary with a Gossip Girl
This is a tough one. One the one hand, NO ONE writes thrillers like Barnes. On the other, this book is a bit hard to swallow. It's not just teens solving mysteries - they're solving deep-seated political schemes that go all the way to the top. It's Scandal meets Veronica Mars.Although I appreciated that the book is full-on uncovering government secrets, it could have done with a bit of softening with either humor or romance. Because of that I got about 70 percent through and skimmed the rest.**I...
A well written and engrossing book that focuses on Politics. Where do I sign up?The Fixer easily becomes one of my favorite reads this year. It is without doubt, this book is joining my Top Ten Favorite Reads of this year.For me the best kind of books is the one that makes me feel intoxicated as if I am drunk in life’s high. The Fixer evokes these feelings for me. I was instantly hooked from the very first eyes I laid on it. There is Barnes’s trademark writing, snark, a group of teenagers bondin...
HOLY SMOKES! This was phenomenal! My review: Go get this book. Read it now! Seriously, guys, The Fixer is everything I didn't know I wanted in a YA book. (YESS! Give me more!) Okay, I'm not that versed on political thrillers and I'm unfamiliar with either popular hit sitcom "Scandal" or "Veronica Mars", so yeah, I was a tad bit hesitant picking this one up, wondering how on earth are they going to spin this one out for young adults, while maintaining a healthy dose of believability and excitemen...
This just hit the spot for me! I was a little wary that this may be a "fixer for high school" kind of plot, and while there is an element of that, this is really a YA political thriller and I loved it. I particularly loved our main character, Tess, and the development of her relationship with her sister. I can't get into details as to why it worked so well for me, because it would be spoilers, but overall, I loved where the story went. Also Vivvie has my heartCW: child abuse
The Fixer was a fun and quick read. In fact, I managed to read it on one rainy afternoon. The Fixer is the story of Tess Kendrick, a teenager who is forced to leave her Montana ranch when it becomes apparent that her grandfather is no longer able to care for her. Tess moves in with her big sister Ivy, who happens to work with a lot of very influential people in Washington D.C. Ivy makes things happen and Tess seems to follow in big sister's footsteps. When a classmate's grandfather dies, Tess is...
