Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy.It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he.
The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard.
I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare.
The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if he’s filling me with passion or poison. Every fleeting touch is perfect torture. With every stolen kiss, my walls crumble a little more. After all this time, Lucas knows exactly how to strip me of my defenses, but I’m in no hurry to surrender.
Knowing thy enemy has never felt so good.
I'm just going to say it: you're not going to live your best book life unless you read Anything You Can Do. It's R. S. Grey's latest complete standalone and it is...what is it.? Aces? Spectacular? Hilarious beyond compare? I can't even deal. I feel like this review will be kind of all over the place just because I loved this book so much and can't really form real thoughts.
Daisy Bell and Lucas Thatcher are life-long enemies. Anything you can do, I can do better, right? So they've been neighbors since birth, competed against each other growing up and after high school graduation they both go off to college...to become doctors...in the same field. Their rivalry hits on all cylinders when they find themselves back in Hamilton, Texas vying for top spot at the local family doctor office.
"I am Daisy Bell, rival to Lucas Thatcher, and the weight of carrying that hatred has started to wear on me."
I'm not reaching when I say that I've never laughed so much while reading a book. R.S. Grey is well-known for her romcom style but this is another level. Literally every few paragraphs had me pausing to laugh. Daisy's journey to outsmart Lucas is so well written and witty.
"For some incomprehensible reason, I wonder if he's going to kiss me. Right here, right now, after 28 years of this war."
Lucas' POV isn't the highlight of the book but when it's in there it's just like SWOON! Lucas, you're perfect. Why aren't you real?! I'm not joking when I tell you to READ. THIS. BOOK. For the two days it took me to read it, I found myself texting my book babes and telling them to jump on this bandwagon. It's a great ride and you don't want to miss it!
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
