I'm not sure how to rate this. On one hand, I really enjoyed their story, but on the other, the pacing felt weird and very fast-paced; I literally powered through it in 3hrs.

Fix Me Up by Caitlin Klassen is a beautiful, bittersweet journey that brings The Foundation series full circle. As both a prequel and a powerful finale, this book takes us back to where it all began, revealing the heartfelt and tender origins of Bree and Grant’s relationship as well as the start of Ellie's contracting business. It was a seamless blend of emotional depth and effortless storytelling.

Grant’s journey is the heart of the book—a man broken by the devastating loss of his family and trapped in grief. I thought his struggles were portrayed really well, with such rawness and honesty that it’s impossible not to feel deeply for him.
Bree, on the other hand, is the perfect counterbalance: kind, compassionate, and unwavering in her support. Her strength and quiet determination help pull Grant out of the darkness, and their relationship feels so natural, pure, and deeply moving.

“You listen to me, and you listen good.” I poke my finger against his chest. “You do not get to tell me if you are good for me or not. I get to make that choice. Spending time with you is MY choice.” I give him a stern look. “No one. Has. Ever. Stood. Up. For. Me.” I exaggerate each word as I poke his chest, harder each time. “You have protected me, you’ve let me rant, and you’ve complimented me to no end. I won’t shove you aside because some random man who smells like ass warns me about you or because you have baggage.”

The pacing was a little strange to me; it was really fast-paced yet so smooth. I'm not sure how to describe it. But was free of unnecessary drama, with conflicts resolved thoughtfully and organically, which was really nice though! I loved the balance between heartfelt moments, playful interactions, and just the right touch of spice, making the story feel vibrant and real.

I loved seeing how Bree and Grant’s story connects to the other books adding a layer of magic to the entire series. It’s a bittersweet farewell, but the author ensures it’s satisfying, tying up loose ends beautifully in the epilogue.

Fix Me Up was everything I could have hoped for, it was more than just a romance—it’s a story of healing, growth, and the transformative power of love. Caitlin Klassen has truly outdone herself, delivering a story that lingers long after the final page. I can’t wait to see what Caitlin has in store for us next!
