Description

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.

    Sugary sweet, heartwarming, and well written. This PG page turner is adorable and brings in family dynamics and communication challenges in the best way.

    I read the sample twice to make sure I wasn’t just being judgmental based on my annoyance of the main character, Gracie. But seriously, in what world would this not be considered cheating??? More importantly, the writing is meh. Pass.
  • Captivating and witty love story!

    Such a cute storyline! Gracie decides to give online dating a shot and downloads an app, and actually meets someone that she has a connection with! The bummer is that the guy isn’t really on there for a relationship but was put on there by his friends but decides to continue to message Gracie and the forage a friendship of sorts. In real life, Gracie meets Sebastian and cannot stand him, especially since he is trying to get Gracie to sell her family business to him. As they continue to have moments together, both of them realize that they are attracted to each other, but with Sebastian in a complicated relationship and Gracie feeling that she’s in a relationship of sorts with the mystery man on the dating app, things don’t progress – until Sebastian realizes it’s him that Gracie has been speaking to! This was such a cute storyline, although we already knew that Sebastian was the guy Gracie was messaging the whole time, so at points it did get somewhat annoying because it was so clear that they were one in the same, but overall, I loved the style of writing and the storyline from Lauren! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

    This was as witty, romantic and funny as I expected. It is always great to have a reliable escape. The one thing I disliked about this novel is alas, it had to end.
  • Wow
