“I would’ve done it for you in a heartbeat.”
After reading ''The sexiest man alive'', Julie James deffiently catched my attention and i was excited about trying out another one of her fantastic novels. This one is definitely my favourite of all her books and for sure among my favourites of all times. I loved it and I couldn't put it down. It's just one of those novels that make you say 'Okay one more chapter and i'll go to bed'...Yeah...Didn't happen.
Practice Makes Perfect is one of the most captivating battle of two opposites who find themselves on the thin line between love and hate.
" If my gender hesitates to compete with yours, J.D., it’s only because we’re afraid to lower ourselves to your level."
This year the firm is going to announce which associates are going to make partner and Payton and J.D. both want it. You either move up or you're out.
This is absolutely THE FUNNIEST BOOK EVER! Every page is filled with some humorous, quotable line or scene that makes you laugh hard and adore this book even more. I loved the characters both together and individually and their I-wanna-kiss-you-senseless-even-though-I-wanna-strangle-you-relationship.
“Never send a boy to do a woman’s job, Irma.”
Payton was a wonderful heroine. She is a fierce, no nonsense kind of woman who clearly deserves her position in life. Raised by a hippie mother who lives to protest all things 'men', she is grown to become clever, independent and bold, fighting hard to succeed in a profession dominated by the opposite gender.
“Good—now call me an ‘asshole’ and give me that look like you want to throw something at me—that’s my favorite part.”
Although born wealthy and cocky, J.D. isn't snobby like his parents and you WILL fall in love with him. He is very smart and driven in everything that he does and doesn't want any special treatment because of his last name. Fighting hard against himself and even harder to ignore her, deep down he admires Payton for her intelligence.
Julie James wrote the two of the best strong-willed characters that bring out bright sparks, making this light, funny novel a great firework of snappy, intelligent dialogue and clever, witty lines. From the beggining their great chemistry is evident and you can feel the tension in their air.
He can tell when she will make her every angry hair flip, knows all about her feminist disgust with the background of white male privilege and experiences her witty comebacks firsthand.
She predicts his rethorical questions which he answers himself, ignores his charms and sarcastic humor and knows all about his old-money, old-family and father as a judge.
What i loved most about this book was how unpredictable it was.Before I start reading this I honestly thought that it would have that expected flow and ending like some romances but I was definitely wrong. When you think you got the pace of the book suddenly there's something that hits you in the face and leaves you speachless and surprised (and laughing 'till you can't feel your jaw). You don't expect it to happen, it keeps you guessing and I loved that. Until the last page you are positively hooked. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a no-brainer!
Rating: 5 stars!
