This book had me squealing throughout its entirety. With You’ve Got Mail vibes, Layne really wrote a modern-day fairytale (with an actual fairytale aficionado) AND an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story. Something I thought impossible.
Grace is an absolute utter queen, I love her so much, her life is in a messy place at the beginning, living with her middle child syndrome (which I apparently also have as an older child?) and pushing aside her goals and life in order to maintain her family’s business alive.
Sebastian is a corporate something or other that is trying to buy Grace out of her wine store’s lease in order to make a parking structure (bleh, am I right?). But then he gets to know her by attending events the shop hosts and providing her with the opportunities to pursue her dreams.
And can I mention that Grace is part of an online dating app that matches people based on personality rather than looks, like penpals, and she ends up in love with both Sir and Sebastian?
Ugh, I’m smitten with this story. It’s a one-sit read and absolutely perfect for the summer. Give yourself a chance to fall in love with Grace and Seb’s story the same way I did.
One thing to note though is the lack of diversity in the story which I would have loved a little more of outside of one or two side characters. But overall pretty good.
8/10
