“To Sir, With Love” by Lauren Layne

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was adorable. Two 30somethings looking for a partner on a blind dating app meet without realizing they’ve also met in person before.

This book was such a quick read but I liked it a lot. Is it the best book I‘ve ever read? No, but it‘s such a cute romance novel. Personally I liked the writing a lot, also the main character is so likeable. It was such a cute read that I caught myself smiling at some points of the book. Did I predict the ending? Yes I did but again it‘s a romance book and those tend to be really predictable but isn‘t that also what we love about them? I‘m glad I got to read this book and will check out the other books from the author, that‘s for sure.

Description:

Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Cooper strives to make the best out of every situation. So when her father dies just months after a lung cancer diagnosis, she sets aside her dreams of pursuing her passion for art to take over his Midtown Manhattan champagne shop. She soon finds out that the store’s profit margins are being squeezed perilously tight, and complicating matters further, a giant corporation headed by the impossibly handsome, but irritatingly arrogant Sebastian Andrews is proposing a buyout. But Gracie can’t bear the thought of throwing away her father’s dream like she did her own.

Overwhelmed and not wanting to admit to her friends or family that she’s having second thoughts about the shop, Gracie seeks advice and solace from someone she’s never met—the faceless “Sir”, with whom she connected on a blind dating app where matches get to know each other through messages and common interests before exchanging real names or photos.

But although Gracie finds herself slowly falling for Sir online, she has no idea she’s already met him in real life…and they can’t stand each other.

✩ 4 stars.

“I think the best parts of my life so far have been in my daydreams.”

the way this quote hit right home. reading this book felt like watching one of those feel good classic movies, which is what the author intended it to be like considering it’s inspired by the movie you’ve got mail. knowing this is basically why i picked this up; that and the fact it’s a lauren layne book. the whole time reading i couldn’t wipe the smile off my face, especially during the last three chapters. it was very lighthearted and adorable! i just wish that it were longer because i didn’t get enough of them together. + sebastian andrews has my heart. <3

I laughed. I cried (more than once). This story was sweet and fairy tale-esque in a way that kept me fully engaged in Gracie’s life. It had me rooting for everyone to get their happily ever after. A solid 4.5/5. Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking a lighthearted romance!
