Really enjoyable and easy romance read. I felt like the reveal was a little dragged out - in that some clues felt obvious. But I really enjoyed it.

I loved Gracie and her real life. She and her family were totally relatable as they dealt with obstacles and life decisions. I liked that Sebastian and Gracie slowly thawed towards each other. The story had nice pacing. This book was, quite simply, a warm hug that just made me so happy. 💕 I loved it!

A “You Got Mail” style love story 💖 charming, funny, feel-good romance 💕 I really enjoyed it 🙂 Definitely the perfect weekend read!

📖 Gracie Cooper has to put her dreams of being an artist 👩🏼‍🎨 aside when she has to take over her late father’s champagne shop in midtown manhattan. 🍾 She finds out that it’s not turning a profit. A big corporation run by a gorgeous, but arrogant Sebastian Andrews is proposing a buyout. 💸 Gracie doesn’t want to throw away her father’s dream like she did her own. Overwhelmed and not wanting to upset her family, she turns to her online friend “Sir” whom she met on a blind dating app for advice. 👤 Gracie starts falling for Sir online, but doesn’t realize she may have met him in real life….and they are not friends…😬

Read my full review at The Wolf's Den 

Overall, not much to critique on this one. A solid production with good pacing, clear enunciation, and strict adherence to the book. I do wish they had deviated slightly during one of the text conversations, where the voice switching made it obvious who was 'speaking' to whom and could have done without the "Gracie to Sebastian" and "Sebastian to Gracie" before each exchange, but otherwise I had no complaints. A fine, fast, flirty rom-com fit for a rainy afternoon or a relaxing evening, this audiobook is a great experience.

Thank you Simon Audio for the gifted audiobook.

This is similar to You've Got Mail but I enjoyed it so much more. Gabby was a much more endearing character to me than the Meg Ryan character. This was a delight of a read I blazed through because I was enjoying it so much. Gracie is relatable and Sebastian sounds like a dream boat. Not just a romance, this book is also about living for yourself and following your dreams. Very low steam (which I like) and you are rooting for every character!
