Charming
This book was incredible charming. Although it’s pretty obvious to the reader what’s going on between the characters it’s adorable to see them find out for themselves. Definitely a good read

It was a very cute read but there wasn't enough tension for me. I skimmed a lot in the end just to finally get to the Happy End.

It was a light and enjoyable read.
The author kept discussing how "real New Yorkers" act and stuff like that, random out of the blue statements to convince us that the characters were actual people and lived in New Yorkers.
Also I disliked the landlord redemption arc, like he's actually a good guy.

this book just. left me completely stumped. i don’t know what i went in expecting, especially as i didn’t really like most of lauren’s previous books, but god. maybe it was my low expectations, or maybe this book was just really fucking great and exactly the kind of (perfect) romance i wanted/needed to read right now. i loved everything, every line, so so so beyond words; i could write a book of my own about how much i love gracesebastian.

I liked this! I’m between a 3.5 ⭐️ and 4. It was a really cute, sweet, quick and easy read. I’ll say this is a definitely a slow burn romance and the romance actually took a bit of a back seat to the main story which is about Gracie, her family, and her dreams in life. But I didn’t mind! I enjoyed reading this even though some parts are very unrealistic. I also think the story is good enough even if the Sir and Lady plot was taken away. I recommend if you’re looking for a very sweet story!

There are some books that feel like movies, and not in a very positive way (but don't get me wrong, I def. love movies, and rom com movies... just on my own terms, for lack of a better way to express it?? LMAO), and this is one of them to me. My definition of "books that feel like movies" in this case is where it feels like I'm only getting the surface level of characters and not much depth, and that the pacing of the events are akin to those of a movie, rather than a book. On top of that, dialogue feels more like a crafted screenplay than natural speech. It makes sense. To Sir, With Love is an homage to You've Got Mail, and it's one of my favorite movies and tropes which is why I picked it up in the first place. These kinds of books that "feel like movies" to me are always kind of hit or miss. And here, it was a bit of a miss.
There were definitely some cute moments. It's got a funny and unfortunate meet cute, it's got some epistolary romance vibes -- but again, the tone and even diction of their texts didn't really feel natural to me. Even all of Gracie's dialogue with her siblings felt a little stiff. To be honest, I also just didn't really feel the chemistry most of the time, and that definitely hurt it. One of the best things about epistolary romances is that the text messages/letters, etc. give a lot of insight to the characters and also build up a great camaraderie and just pure attraction through the vulnerability, but here, the messages didn't really add much to those vibes for me at all. Gracie and Sebastian's best moments were obviously in-person, but the buildup didn't really add up. It kind of felt like there was just an awkward jump from the enemies to lovers simply because of Gracie's preconceived notions of "finding the one" and her believing it was him immediately. Which is also kind of the point BUT STILL.
