How many of you all have ever done something impulsive without thinking about the consequences? I'm sure we all have; I know I have. However, now is not the time to air out my or your dirty laundry. Nope; today's focus is on Daisy Garner who is the heroine of Daisy Does It All.Now when we first meet Daisy in the story she has two lives: Real life and her imagined life. Now her imagined life is blissful. Who wouldn't want to live in their imagined life? Anyway, she did a big no-no; she posted her imagine life on line and passed off as real. Then she gets the break of a lifetime. Of course, problem is it's all imagine. So, basically goes to Travis for help and he sees this as the opportunity of a lifetime. After all, he's been wanting to marry Daisy ever since he found out he was going to be a dad.All right, Daisy Does It All is definitely a chic-lit read. It's a fluff read, plain and simple. It's one of those reads you just think the characters are crazy and just go with the flow. Daisy, I just had to shake my head at times. By the way she acts, you would think she was the younger sibling and you would be wrong. She's viewed as the family screwup and is trying hard to change that. However, she finds herself struggling, because her stubbornness won't let her ask for help. Travis is a handsome guy who believes"Love is something made up by corporations to sell more cards."Yep, that's pretty jaded outlook on love. However, he wants Daisy to marry him so they can be family. So, he pushes hard to get what he wants. I know that doesn't sound romantic, but he does love Daisy on some level. He just doesn't know how to express himself well.Now some people might find the whole situation silly. However, I viewed this more like a romantic comedy. Yes, it has a recipe for a romantic comedy in book form. We all know that every romantic comedy needs certain things to happen to make it a romantic comedy:Need a problem: Daisy lying about having a wonderful life and blogging about it.Solution: Travis comes in and rescues Daisy from the mess.Hiding the lie: Pretending to be a happy family during the interviewThe Reveal: Everything comes out in the open, every dirty secret.Happy-Ever-After: Must have in the storyOverall, Daisy Does It All was a light fun read. It's definitely a beach read, something that doesn't make you think to much. Yes, the characters are flawed, but their flaws make the story. So, if you are looking for that light read that's not going to bog you down, you could give Daisy Does It All a try.Copy provided by author via Tasty Book Tour
