To Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne
4.25
hopeful inspiring lighthearted
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Now that I'm reading again, I obviously had to pick up at least one Lauren Layne book. Some other time this would have disappointed me, but I read this at the perfect point in my life. I got into this book thinking it was a full-blown romance (yes, I expected and wanted smut), but it read more like a chick lit and I wasn't mad about that at all.

The realizations Gracie had are some of the things I have been working through, and I identified with her so much. I do wish this was longer and that there were more interactions or at least more friction between Gracie and Sebastian. They slid into a friendly stage pretty early on. Not to say that it felt forced, though. Just a bit early for my liking. Would have wanted more sexual tension, too. And here we go again with LL's abrupt ending right after the confession. I need more gooey shit after her MCs become couples, I beg.
