A vacation hook up in Ireland no less. How can I resist it? I willingly stepped into Willa Peet's shoes for a day and totally enjoyed my little day trip. I loved the rainy, damp and cold weather, the cozy Claymore Inn and of course Shane Claymore and his wacky family. UNFIXABLE by Tessa Bailey is a cool post break-up/rebound/true love story that has a lot of heart, no wonder lots of readers loved this new adult story too!I'm sure you've seen this title around a lot in the blogosphere in the past few days so I won't regale you with redundancies. I'll just be direct to the point that I love Willa's spirit. She's very self aware and understands what she needs to work on. She may have vulnerabilities but she knows how to work around that. Fake it til you make it right? Shane saw through that and what started as a harmless flirtation quickly turned into a soul connection. There were ups and downs as Willa and Shane worked the kinks of their blossoming relationship but nothing too serious and dramatic. UNFIXABLE is relatively mellow compared to other new adult novels that are designed to make our hearts sob in desperate frustration.UNFIXABLE is purely about love, the different faces of it from romantic, familial to friendship, and the phases it goes through. Even if the story is primarily Willa's Shane's character didn't fade in the background as he has some healing and growing up to do as well. Shane's family in particular I enjoyed a lot as they were very present in the story. Kitty, Shane's mom, is a whack-a-doodle and I won't mind eating her stale toast which she keeps in her apron. Ginger, Willa's sister, is my second fave, she doesn't have a lot of face time in the story but she was a strong voice of reason especially during the conflict. UNFIXABLE is my kind of new adult read, it's not a sexed-up-girls-gone-wild tale, it's not an agonizing story about tortured souls, instead it's a light-hearted and hopeful love story about love lost and a better love found.
