To Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne cover

ABOUT:
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.

To Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne Review

I don’t know what it was about the story but it’s seriously left a huge warm spot in my heart. Her characters are real people with real struggles and deserve the happiness that she beautifully encapsulates.

This is a contemporary fiction love story which features people just a little bit older than the young adult category. They’ve been through a lot in their lives, yet continue to move forward and grow but still desire other things. They are missing that one special person in their life and use an app to try to find it. The conversations are fun and witty but also deep and meaningful.

Layne has a wonderful way of developing her characters that makes them so very likable. You find yourself cheering on this couple as they break down the barriers that go from dislike and discontent to warm and fuzzy, sparkling and bubbly.

To Sir, with Love is a positive and uplifting story and I think that’s what gets me. Layne has a beautiful storytelling ability that just gives you all the feels and makes you wish you were there. Fresh and divine!

This is a clean romance and a heartfelt love affair that slowly builds. I found myself reading with tears rolling several times in the story. She leaves us with an amazing happily ever after and a huge smile that will last for days.

Layne is an amazing talent of contemporary fiction and romance, whose words takes your breath away and envelops the definition of Romance Writer.
