................................................................................

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.

Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Cooper strives to make the best out of every situation. When her father dies, 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 and a giant corporation headed by the impossibly handsome, but irritatingly arrogant Sebastian Andrews is proposing a buyout.

Gracie can't bear the thought of throwing away her father's dream and, overwhelmed, she seeks advice and solace from the faceless 'Sir', with whom she connected on a blind dating app where matches get to know each other 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.

New York and a little Nora Ephron…

Reviewed in Australia on 25 November 2023

So utterly gorgeous! It’s got pining, confusion, champagne, New York, messaging and so much falling in love. If you adored Love Lettering (Kate Clayborn) this has the same dreamy feel and keeps New York as the third main character, you’ll love this!

It’s sweet and clean, but the longing is so visceral, and confusing, that it doesn’t matter. This is romance for the absolute joy of it 🥰🥰🥰

I quite enjoyed this read. The writing had great flow and was clever and witty. The characters were cute. The plot very predictable but still sweet. Another win from this author.

Absolutely adored this reimagined 'You've Got Mail' (and all previous iterations).

It's always refreshing to read single POV, especially when the author is so skilled at conveying the other MC's thoughts without us seeing inside their heads.

Another beautiful job by Lauren Layne.

A cute, quick, albeit predictable read. I didn't particularly connect with any of the characters and Gracie did annoy me a little, and the whole sir thing felt a little ick. But it was sweet.

Great read

Reviewed in Australia on 2 May 2022

I absolutely adored this book and pretty much read it in one sitting (if we don’t count all the sleeping in between)

It was such a fun sweet and sexy read full of good humour and wonderful characters that I could read about over and over.

Sebastian and Gracie were both great people, they both were hard workers and both adored their families and they also had a lot of chemistry, I loved these characters a lot.

I also loved all of the side characters, all of their friends and family were such a great support crew and loyal to the core.

The storyline was brilliant, with great imagery, I could absolutely feel myself right there with everyone sipping beautiful champagne 🥂

I absolutely adored the ending of this book and thought it was perfect for the storyline.

Great RomCom, one that I totally recommend.

Cutesy, full of sugar, this was a fun read. Sometimes we want to skip the main meal and just have dessert. I’m the same with the books I read. This was a fun, enjoyable, sweet hot fudge sundae with all the trimmings and I devoured it. Great book for when your in the mood for something like this.

This story had me the beginning. Gracie’s family and friends are wonderful characters and Sir and Sebastian are what I love in a good H. I downloaded this book a couple of months ago and have been wanting to read it. Saturday I finally did and I could not put it down! I kept thinking about the character and how charming everyone is including Cannoli the cat. The love story is sweet, sexy, and adorable. The texts between Sir and Gracie are great not too long but it gives you all the feels of flirting in a fun way. Gracie and Sebastian are sexy attractive and you can feel the tension. Their encounters are always tense but there are also great moments, the cooking class was a hoot. This is how romantic comedy writing should be done light, fun, but with a great story with character development. Highly, highly recommend this book! Would give it 100 starts is possible.

“My dear lady, you stole my heart twice. If you think I’m letting another second of my life pass without you in it, I’ll have to miss you again to set you straight.”

To Sir With Love is a witty, laugh-out- loud, swoon worthy story that captured my heart. It was filled with delicious food, bubbly champagne, beautiful art and talk of fairytales. The story had me smiling from beginning to end. It was the perfect short, light, adorable read that I was looking for, I literally read it in one sitting. I absolutely loved the main and side characters. The family relationships were so incredibly sweet, I loved their development through out the book.

An adaptation of the hit rom-com by Nora Ephron, You’ve Got Mail, To Sir with Love is the story of Gracie. Gracie manages her family wine business and has put her dreams of being an artist on the back-burner. The wine business is struggling and Gracie is trying her best. Her only respite in life? The art that she makes and sells at her wine shop and Sir, a charming man she has met on a dating app but doesn’t know who he is. Gracie’s life would’ve gone on the same way if it wasnt for Sebastian Andrews, a real estate scion who wants to buy out her shop. Nostalgic about the shop her parents built, Gracie does everything she can to save it. She hates Sebastian and would do anything to get rid of him. But what will happen when she realises that Sebastian is Sir.

Classic enemies to lovers trope. Gracie and Sebastian are very likeable characters. If you’ve enjoyed the movie, you will really enjoy this book. There is a lot more to Gracie’s character in the book as opposed to Kathleen’s in the movie. Gracie has a fully fleshed life in terms of family, friends and interests. She’s kind, funny and empathetic while at first Sebastian comes across as aloof (because we see him through Gracie’s eyes), but he’s actually a kind and considerate person too.

My favourite part of the book is how the writer has been able to keep the whole ‘anonymous online’ equation so believable in the 2020s, considering its far more difficult now to not know who you’re talking to, as opposed to the 90s when You’ve Got Mail came out. I can totally believe that somewhere out there someone would create an app where you’re not allowed to post your picture and instead have to put up a digital avatar.

Total 5 star read especially if you love the movie. It’s not deep or philosophical but it is charming enough to hook you to a chair for a couple of hours.
