New Release & Review: To Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne

Love Is Blind meets You've Got Mail in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy following two thirty-somethings who meet on a blind dating app--only to realize that their online chemistry is nothing compared to their offline rivalry.

To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne is now live!

Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Cooper strives to make the best out of every situation. So when her father dies just five 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 to turn the store into a parking garage.

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.

My Review:
To Sir, with LoveTo Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Made my heart happy. This is a wonderful romance using that great spin of a couple meeting in two ways but they don’t know it. Lady and Sir meet on a dating app that uses conversation to get to know each other without images. Lady is looking for a relationship but Sir was signed up by a friend yet they find a wonderful connection and enjoy chatting with each other. Gracie is working very hard to keep her parent’s dream alive for their champagne shop. She bumps into Sebastian one day only to learn that he is from the company that wants to buy and close her shop. Even though she feels an amazing connection to him on that first meeting, she works hard to hate him as she fights to make the store profitable. I had fun with all the coincidences and unexpected moments as we as the reader know what is going on while the characters don’t. For Gracie, she has put her dreams on hold so this journey allows her to reevaluate what she wants as she reconnects with her siblings to save the store. Sebastian becomes a great confidant and listener, someone outside her normal circle that is able to be objective and supportive in a way she never expected. Truly, it just made me smile. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
