What to expect

Random House presents the audiobook edition of I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella, read by Fiona Hardingham.

The irresistible new standalone from Sophie Kinsella is a story of love, empowerment and an IOU that changes everything . . .

Fixie Farr can’t help herself. Straightening a crooked object, removing a barely-there stain, helping out a friend . . . she just has to put things right. It’s how she got her nickname, after all.

So when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch his laptop for a moment, Fixie not only agrees, she ends up saving it from certain disaster. To thank her, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, scribbles her an IOU – but of course Fixie never intends to call in the favour.

That is, until her teenage crush, Ryan, comes back into her life and needs her help – and Fixie turns to Seb. But things don’t go according to plan, and now Fixie owes Seb: big time.

Soon the pair are caught up in a series of IOUs – from small favours to life-changing debts – and Fixie is torn between the past she’s used to and the future she deserves.

Does she have the courage to fix things for herself and fight for the life, and love, she really wants?

Critics Review

I love having the opportunity to escape with a Sophie Kinsella book, and I OWE YOU ONE came just when I needed it. Fixie’s story is one of missed cues, mistakes, and the realization that you can’t fix someone else’s mess until you fix your own — a smart lesson, wrapped in a gem of a novel.
Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of A SPARK OF LIGHT and SMALL GREAT THINGS
Compulsively readable . . . I adored it.
Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail
This book is a shot of pure joy.
Jenny Colgan
Another clever, witty story of love and empowerment
Scotsman
A humorous exploration of family life, finding love and the difficulties of coming into one’s own as a young professional woman . . . Will certainly remind readers why 19 years after her first hit Kinsella remains one of the reigning queens of women’s fiction.
Washington Post
Heartwarming . . . Once again, Kinsella creates a sweet, relatable lead you can’t help rooting for.
Heat
Cute, funny and life-affirming
