About this listen

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?

"Life doesn't get much better than a new Sophie Kinsella novel." (Red)
All stars

The story is ok but the main character is irritating
Easy listening and happy ending
Not Kinsella’s best by a long shot

Annoying main character

It was a bit predictable and her language was repetitive. However, easy to listen to.

She says "incredulous" every 5 minutes!!! :(

Great story and natrator that hooked me from the start. Sophie Kinsella's stories are guaranteed to be spirited and delightful!

Couldn't stop listening.

Sophie Kinsella is amazing. She brings a gentle rawness to her books and blends in laughter and tears. There are always lessons to be learnt. Fiona Hardingham is, hands down, the master of narration. I would listen to her read the dictionary! A dynamic duo!

Brilliant

Loved listening to this story of a close family becoming closer & relationships that needed a little help

Family first

I wanted to slap the main character so hard the whole time. You are made to feel like she is a victim, but her behaviour is actually obsessive and stalkerish and unhealthy. Then she goes after a guy in a relationship and the book tries to justify this being an ok thing by making you think the other woman is a bitch. Actually, most of the characters in this book are extremely hard to deal with (aside from Layla, the only decent character). And yet, I finished the book. The story itself was moderately entertaining.

The main character is the worst person I have ever met in a book

I really struggled with some of the completely vacuous characters and the whole "ravens swirling" "forward side back" rubbish. the book would have been better without them.
Aside from that though it was an ok story. Didn't enjoy as much as some other Sophie Kinsella books.

Not a waste of money

Sophie at her finest!
