My initial and only thought after finishing this book: HOLY CRAP.

I really have no idea why barely anyone talks about this book because it's honestly so phenomenal.

The Fixes is about Eric Connelly and his three friends, who take it upon themselves to fix the town they live in, through a series of illegal acts. All seemingly harmless up until they aren’t. I really really really enjoyed this book. This book was so strange and dark and intense. It is completely unique and completely hilarious and had such a full, well rounded, self-aware story arc that left me 100% satisfied.

I loved the writing style and how Owen Matthews would break the 4th wall every second paragraph. I loved the fact that Eric actually had to face consequences for his actions. I loved the use of vine(RIP)and I loved the dark sarcasm. I loved Eric as a main character, even though he was a very stupid teenager that made very stupid decisions. I liked that you go into the book knowing the ending but not how Eric and his friends get to that point. (view spoiler)[ I like that even though you see it coming you’re still surprised when Jordan goes crazy. (hide spoiler)] I liked the short chapters and I loved the footnotes added throughout.

Really my only complaint is that because of the casual, satirical writing style (which I really loved) it’s hard to connect with the characters and it isn’t exactly immersive. Also, that Leonardo DiCaprio slander was so uncalled for.

A lot of people compare this book to Heather’s but honestly before everything went absolutely off the wall I was getting major misfits, ragtag, ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower� vibes. This book is essentially Perks of Being a Wall Flower meets Heathers and I don’t think there could ever be a better combination. I highly recommend.
