Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
5.0
Katherine Center never disappoints! Her ability to write emotional stories laced with humour has made her an auto-read author for me. Hello Stranger might just be my favourite of her books.
Portrait artist Sadie Montgomery has just learned of the big break she’s been looking for – she’s a finalist in an upcoming competition that will give her the exposure she’s been waiting for. But then life changes in a minute.
Following brain surgery to correct a recently discovered congenital anomaly, Sadie is no longer able to recognize faces. Faces look like something from a Picasso painting. She’s told this condition may be temporary, but the competition is only six weeks away. Will her ability to see faces correctly return in time?
To make matters worse, her senior dog is ill which forces her out in the real world to the veterinarian where she meets the good-looking new Dr. Of course she can’t see his face, but the rest of him looks great and his gait is fantastic. Then there is Joe a man who lives in her building who initially seems to be a womanizer – could her initial impressions of this man be wrong?
There are some very beautiful moments in this book and a twist I didn’t see coming. The characters are well-developed and highly-likeable. Sadie’s backstory is compelling and the reader cannot help but root for her.
I highly recommend this book to those readers who enjoy contemporary romance. I cannot wait to read the author’s next book.
4.5 stars (rounded up to 5).
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
