3..5⭐️ I liked this book and enjoyed it, however it was soooo predictable. I even loosely described the plot to my husband and he was like oh yeah Joe and the vet are the same person

Fun story and learned a lot about face blindness-so fascinating. The journey of Sadie and Joe's relationship at times you just wanted to shout at them "talk to each other about what yall are thinking!!" But loved it. Joe's character was great. I found the ending at the art show with their family show down a bit too coincidental for the bullying victim to appear but the Sadie's dad's apology and gift of the canvas and flowers was very touching. What a challenging family, and how horrid is Parker! Happy for Sadie and Joe! And loved the epilogue...after a book of getting the two characters together, I always love an epilogue that gives you a glimpse into the future.

I skipped ahead a couple points in the audiobook

PHENOMENAL!!! I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!❤️❤️Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

AMAZING!! This is my favorite book by Katherine Center!! There are some books that stay with you forever and this is one of them. Literally everything I could ever want in a book. Hello Stranger is such a unique and heartwarming story that is so much more than a romance. It is about finding hope and persevering, despite all the struggles and difficulties in your life. Center has a way of pulling at your heart strings and making you fall in love with the characters. I cannot recommend this book enough!! I felt ALL the emotions!! Definitely, one of my top reads for 2023!! 🥰🥰

Purposefully, I am not discussing the plot because I feel like it is better to go into reading this blind. I will say that I did foresee the big twist but that did not take away at all from the story. Center has author notes at the end that you will not want to miss! Her description of the romance genre was on point. I was completely captivated from start to finish and highly recommend this book!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Definitely a cute love story but not my favorite by Katherine Center. It was a unique concept and injury that caused so much to happen. I loved that she pushed through it and I loved that she fell in love without really “seeing” the person she was falling in love with.

I really enjoyed the storyline. It felt a bit too long and I did not like the friend, at all.
