Anything you can do
4.5 "do your worst" stars It might seem like these words of Tina Turner's song could easily describe the notion in this book
What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
But then again…you’d be dead wrong…cause it’s inevitable for Daisy and Lucas…
It may seem to you That I'm acting confused When you're close to me If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace I've got cause to be There's a name for it There's a phrase that fits But whatever the reason You do it for me
And in fact, what might seem like hate or animosity is just another side of the same coin… And it has EVERYTHING to do with LOVE…*wink* Anything you can do by R.S. Grey is a truly funny romantic comedy with interesting sassy banter and bickering between the two frenemies Daisy Blue and Lucas Thatcher , who kept developing this relentless competition going on through out their 28 years of life with a break of 11 years (while in college), but when they see each other again as they both return into their hometown applying for the same job as MDs in the local clinic of Family Medicine Practice, the „war“ continues as it has never been on pause. What transpires next is the relationship that is clearly tense and electrified, filled with sassy attitudes, funny dialogues, sexual innuendos and quirky outbursts until the tension is too much to stand…
“Listen, Romeo, I'm only using you. I need you to fall for me. I want you to hand your heart over willingly do I can break it. That way, you'll leave and give me the practice.“ – Daisy – „What a coincidence, Daisy. I'm only using you. I want to fuck with you. Make you fall in love with me. So that when I break your heart, you'll leave and give me the practice. And believe me, I really want to fuck with you.“ - Lucas -
and they still fight against the obvious…but Daisy is so "job-getting" driven and so overwhelmed with the whole competition and winning in this war with Lucas, that she's clouded from seeing the real reason for all the comotion between them. Throw in a little bit of misunderstanding, the temperature and tension change its course with the obvious revelation
What are we fighting for? The job? Hometown hero? Over the years I've lost track, and I never really minded because for me, it was never about the war and it was never about beating you. I just wanted to have you any way I could.
Cause the funny thing is, the pespective of their „interactions“ was absolutely clear to everyone around them…but not to them, until it was the right time for her to finally „see“ it the way it trully is.
The last two people who knew Lucas and Daisy were going to end up together forever were Lucas and Daisy
Even though, at times, I found the heroine a bit „too“ quirky in a sense she was acting a bit immaturely and at times I felt the pacing took too long until event resolvement, i think this is a perfect book for any lazy afternoon with a hot chocolate beside you. It's quirky, it's sassy, it's funny and it's sexy, a perfect blend of different tastes that will pull you into a giggle, a sentimental grin, or a sigh or in my case, a simple Chesire-cat smile. *wink* This was refreshing "enemies to lovers" story...i especially enjoyed the funny banter, the pranks, bickering and quite an exquisite humor!
