To Sir, With Love

De: Lauren Layne

Narrado por: Rachanee Lumayno, Shaun Taylor-Corbett

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. 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.

Adorable!

This book is so adorable! I love this author and this did not disappoint. Great characters, cute story, loved it!

Too Similar

Sadly, this story was too similar to You’ve Got Mail. Unimaginative. It would have been a cute story if it hadn’t already existed…

Favorite

This was one of my favorite books for 2022. Everything about it made me happy.

Cute and Cozy

Nothing new or spectacular, yet I found myself totally involved. absolutely enjoyed this book! would be a great beach read. definitely is a you've got mail modernized version.

Faithful retelling if You’ve got Mail

One of my favorite movies growing up was “The Shop Around the Corner” with Jimmy Stewart. When it was remade as “You’ve Got Mail”, I again loved the story. Lauren Layne has basically written her own version, and I found it delightful. I do miss the steam of her previous books, but this is one I can recommend to anyone.
