Review: To Sir, with Love

✩✩✩✩

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.

Review: I loved reading To Sir, with Love. It's a sweet and heartwarming book - not laugh out loud like Amazon announces it, but it will definitely make you smile. It's also fairly predictable, because you known almost from the beginning that Sir and Sebastian are one and the same.

But really, the reason I'm rating it with just four stars instead of five is the fact that the messages exchanged between Lady and Sir (at least the ones shared with us in the book) didn't give me the impression they are falling in love with each other or that they were even sharing anything deep. Those messages are mostly fun but pretty bland, so they didn't really fit in with the rest of the book telling us there were true feelings actually involved. 

Other than the above, it's a lovely book and a clean romance story, and I recommend it.

Happy readings!
