It's funny, its quirky and a breath of fresh air. I found myself chuckling as I followed alongside Abby while she reviewed the feedback forms.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

This is a reasonably well written and amusing book. It has some fine lines, a few well-conceived set pieces, and a fair share of perceptive and insightful observations. That said, try as I might I found neither the brief examples of "fixes" nor the author's enthusiasms engaging enough to arouse or hold my curiosity and attention. As a consequence, it doesn't seem fair to write much more of a review, apart from encouraging inquisitive readers to give the book a try.

I enjoyed this book, though I made an incorrect assumption that it would be more illustrated than it is - specifically I for some reason thought it was a graphic novel/comics compilation and not a novel that happened to have illustrations in it. Regardless, Fixing Flamingos was funny and enjoyable, a solid 3.5/5 stars.

Thank you Netgalley and Chronicle Books for access to this arc.

Humor is subjective and after slogging through a third of this book, I have to admit that it's not working for me. The illustrations are cute but I find the rest of the book a bit sophomoric. I will not finish or review it. DNF

This book is cute, creative, quirky and funny.

The illustrations were simple but added to the humorous subject.

Because I found this book entertaining I looked up the author and there are other books that have a similar vibe👍

This book was hilarious. Abby, our protagonist, is tasked with reviewing feedback from those who enter heaven. “The Boss” takes care of any big issues, while Abby is responsible for seeing what smaller upgrades can be made in the world of the living. Commentary about her office mates and the other departments she has to consult results in a laugh-out-loud story. Fixing Flamingos is a quick, lighthearted read that you should pick up once it is published!

A very funny tale of an employee handling reviews of things on earth that should be fixed— but it’s not what you would expect. This book is very funny and irreverent— the perfect gift for a friend who takes pride in being an oddball.

This book made me not only laugh until I cried, it made me think.
As an intern for Up There, Abby is assigned to review feedback forms. These are no ordinary forms though, they deal with evolutionary things. She must decide which ones to toss and how to go about putting others into production.
This was such a fun read that had me laughing until my eyes leaked. Not only were the ideas well thought out but can we talk about the illustrations, they added so much. I do however need an explanation on how Julio Iglesias was the cause of a death.

I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review

Received an ARC of this book and I am glad I had an opportunity to read it.

Really this was between a 3 and a 4 star read for me. Fixing Flamingos is such a unique concept and really a delight to read. An intern at “up there” is reading through suggestions on how to improve life on earth. It is a wonderful mix of absurdity and creative writing. There is even a fun subplot that I really enjoyed.

There were suggestions that I loved and others that I think lulled a bit. However, this book is PERFECT for anyone who likes to deep dive into random questions and ponder them.

Get ready for quirky.

This is a fantastically fun book! All of the various suggestions are a blast, as are the absurd illustrations that accompany many of them. And more than a few actually didn't sound all too bad - or at least I'd be willing to give them a test-drive for a day or two!

Fixing Flamingos is a really fun book, would be good for older children and adults alike. I loved the hand-drawn pictures, as well as the clever and very funny approach to modern "problems". The issues were things I've never thought about, but when I read them, I agreed!! Very fun.
