Critics Review
Will make you angry as much as it makes you laugh. It’s a mad time to be ageing so let The Fix keep you company – Sara Pascoe
I’m in total admiration of this book. I can’t imagine there’s a woman out there who wouldn’t identify with Julia. I wish I could meet her in real life for a drink, a cig and a long chat. It’s an outstanding debut – Mary Beth Keane
I adore Marianne Levy’s writing – Holly Bourne
I absolutely tore through The Fix and LOVED it! Utterly gripping, chillingly prescient and very, very funny, it will stay with me for a long time – Daisy Buchanan
A wonderful book, powerful and funny and brilliantly imagined. The Fix is an incredible treat - I had so much fun reading it – Holly Gramazio
Such a clever and thought-provoking read about motherhood, marriage and ageing - I couldn’t put it down – Ellie Levenson
Utterly brilliant: fearless, compassionate and bloody hilarious – Tammy Cohen
I REALLY f**king loved it … Marianne Levy skewers the agony and joy of womanhood like never before. You will thrust this brilliantly funny, essential book into the hands of everyone you know – Julia Raeside
A savage triumph: sharp, original and hilarious, it’s the witty, angry friend you need. I laughed, I cried, I fumed and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. An addictive and dazzling must-read – Jo Harkin
Ferociously gripping, timely and provocative. I felt enthralled, enlightened, euphoric, and most of all SEEN – Beth Morrey
A funny, furious and razor-sharp novel about motherhood, middle age and our unhealthy infatuation with youth. Marianne Levy takes a knife to the system that feeds on women’s insecurities to make money, holding up a mirror to our current preoccupations, and warning us of what might be on the horizon. A searing triumph – Anna Mazzola
Funny, insightful and brilliantly written … Highly recommended – Kate Sawyer
An astute, hilarious, entertaining, acute take on the absurdities of modern life. My favourite novel I’ve read in a long time. OBSESSED – Jean Hannah Edelstein
Compulsively readable. I’m dying to discuss this book with everyone I know – Emily Bell
I adored The Fix, a fascinating, compelling and timely novel about all the ways in which people, especially women, change and in which life changes them. Marianne Levy’s writing is addictive: fast-paced, tender, and very, very funny. I laughed; I cried; I wrote down sentences which were so good I didn’t want to forget them. This book will stay with me for a long time and I can’t recommend it highly enough – Chloë Houston
Smart and irresistible. I loved it! – Deirdre Mask
A provocative and sharply-observed novel about a miracle anti-ageing drug. It promises to be a pleasing ‘f*ck you’ to the ageist machinations of the patriarchy and I am very much down for it * Crib Notes *
What a brilliant premise. The Fix is fantastically written, so funny and so rage-inducing. I couldn’t put it down – Emily Itami
