Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
5.0
“Isn’t it lucky when we’re drawn to people who can teach us things we need to learn?”
I loved this book so much! A FMC who won’t let anyone help her meets a MMC who is a compulsive helper, and she actually does need his help because she has face-blindness following brain surgery.
The first third of the book really focuses on Sadie’s medical things, as well as her relationships with her best friend and her therapist. I love when a great romance story also has other plot! After her diagnosis of acquired apperceptive prosopagnosia (face blindness), Sadie can’t recognize faces so she can’t tell if she has met someone before. She follows the advice to treat everyone like “there are no strangers”. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all used that trick!?
Sadie ends up meeting and falling for two men—her dog’s veterinarian and her neighbor. I was worried it might be a love triangle (not my favorite trope), but she makes a choice pretty quickly. There is quite a bit of misunderstanding, and the third act breakup GUTTED me. I loved these two characters together and was devastated when it happened. But of course there is a HEA! I adored this book and highly recommend!
