This was a fun rom-com for me, but I think I enjoyed The Bodyguard a little bit more!

Sadie is an artist that specializes in portraits and finally seems to be getting her big break. She beat out thousands of others for a prestigious art competition with a huge cash prize. However, she has a seizure in a street and is saved by a good samaritan. In the hospital, she has to undergo brain surgery and wakes with a horrible side effect, face blindness. As Sadie tries to fake her way through life until it *hopefully* heals, she ends up becoming close with her vet, and also her new next door neighbor, but she can't tell them apart. 

I think the best part about this was the romance and the love interest. Joe was so swoony and just generally a good guy. I loved how the romance built and all the little interactions they had. The main character, I had a harder time with Sadie. It took me a little bit to get used to her writing and inner dialogue which just isn't how real people interact and think. Additionally, she tries to fake not being face blind which just seems weird? Like I don't exactly understand her reasoning and motivation for that, especially because she often ends up embarrassing herself more. 

I do think that a really cool thing this book did was actually talk about bias and how confirmation bias affected Sadie's life and her relationship. She would assume she is talking with someone and know who they are based on biases and not actually using her other sense and communication. I liked how the Sadie reflected on this at the end. 

This does have a hefty amount of miscommunication, so keep that in mind if you are not a fan of the trope!
