Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
4.5

Hello Stranger had such an unique idea and I think Katherine Center did a really great job in their writing of this subject. I really enjoy Katherine Center's writing, and this book showed that. There were definitely moments where I wasn't enjoying the main character, Sadie. There were moments where I felt that Sadie was hitting the "woe is me" bit a little too hard. But then again, she was going through a pretty traumatic accident. I loved Joe's character sooo much <3. I loved the relationship that Joe had with the people he surrounded himself with, and loved that Mr. Kim called him Helpful. I did guess the ending about halfway through, but that didn't change how much I was kicking my feet and giggling at Joe and Sadie's reunion at the end. I found that the ending really wrapped up the book in the best way, while everything wasn't being back to normal or wasn't perfect, it was still good. Overall, I really liked this book and will continue to fangirl over Katherine Center's books/book men. 

Huge thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC in exchange of an honest review.
