Hello Stranger by Katherine Center

5.0

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

When I received the email with the download link for Katherine Center’s new novel, Hello Stranger, I abandoned every word of my current read and dove into this one head first. And I have to say, I have a new favorite love story. Can I give a book more than 5 stars? This one needs ALL of them!

I learned so much about Prosopagnosia (aka face blindness, a condition I previously knew nothing about. This is a story of resiliency, self love, and the power of human connection.

Sadie, Joe, Oliver, Peanut, and Sue … they are all lovely characters. I already want to dive back into their world and start reading about them all over again.

A handful of other characters are severely flawed, but that is life. While it is messy and imperfect, Katherine’s execution of the miscommunication trope is not. It is done flawlessly and on several occasions.

I don’t want to give out any spoilers, but everyone needs to add this to their preorder list. It’s perfection on paper! Katherine Center said it best herself: “This love story really created fantastic anticipation.”
