If you must know, I am a big fan R.S. Grey fan!! There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it that I simply adore and love this author. I have a been a fan of her books since I read With This Heart. Well to say I was excited for The Design would be an understatement because I freaking couldn't wait to get my grabby hands on this book since I am a big fan of unrequited love and friends to lover stories.

R.S. Grey is one of those authors that always put her heart, quirks and personality into her books and The Design was no exception. This book was screaming R.S. Grey when you comes across humor and pop culture reference. The Design was definitely a romantic comedy book that will have you laughing at the playful banter and sarcasm, and squealing at the sweet and sexy moments. And of course, there are times in the book that will have you frustrated with Cammie and Grayson. Trust me they will but at the same time these two somehow manage to ease your frustration with their humor, wit, and smartass personality.
For years, Cammie has always had a crush on Grayson Cole, her older sister's friend. If I was to describe Grayson and Cammie's relationship, it would simpley be a mixture of hot and cold. In all honesty, he would give any girl a whiplash with the mixed signals he was sending Cammie. But what Cammie wants is for Grayson to take notice her and see her as a grown adult and not the baby naive sister of Brookyln. So when Grayson hires Cammie to work in his company, their relationship takes on a whole new turn. Can Cammie make Grayson see her as a woman? And will Grayson finally let his guard down and show that Cammie means so much more to him than just an employee and friend?
What I truly enjoyed about this book was the quirky personalities of the characters. Yes, there were times I wanted to slap Grayson and Cammie to stop playing these games with each other. But I understood Grayson's hesitation of crossing that line with Cammie because once he crossed that invisible line I knew things were about to get blurred when they went from friends to lovers. And as for Cammie, I wished at times she would have been a little bit more stronger when it came to Grayson since she practically handed herself to him. But like all relationships, no one is perfect and Cammie and Grayson are far from perfect and that's what makes them so honest, raw, and vulnerable. So if you are looking for a book that screamed fun playful romance and witty dialogue then go read The Design by R.S. Grey. <3
