Hello Stranger


I adored this book - honestly, I think it is my favorite Katherine Center book to date. The premise didn't initially wow me BUT - I was so wrong! It was executed perfectly and was unique and fun. Sadie Montgomery is a starving artist, for years she has wanted to prove it to her family that she can make it and a chance finally landed in her lap. She is a top 10 finalist in a national portrait contest and the grand prize is $10k! Maybe she can finally move out of her rooftop hovel that she shares with her dog Peanut?! But then tragedy strikes, she has a seizure, almost gets run over by a car, and has to have brain surgery. She recovers perfectly... except for the fact that she can no longer see faces. Swelling on her brain has caused face blindness, which for a portrait artist is cataclysmic. She has to learn to tell people apart by their walk, clothes, voice, and other mannerisms, and boy is it hard. While her life is falling apart she starts to fall for two different men, her veterinarian and the man whore who lives on the floor below her. What could go wrong. Charming, cute, redemptive, and wonderful.
