Hello Stranger
by Katherine Center
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Because 5 stars is not enough.
Sadie has been diagnosed with acquired face blindness and now has to make sense of her life - a life that was already giving her some bumps and bruises. Grief from the loss of her mom, an emotionally absent father, an annoying step-mother, and a vicious step sister. Along with all this, she’s a finalist in a painting contest and she also has to make a romantic decision between two guys that she can't even see their faces, she just has to go with her gut feeling on who she likes more.
Hello Stranger was utter perfection. I loved the relationships - I loved the growth and the fact that they did not immediately resolve at the end, but you at least saw progress. I loved Joe SOOOOO MUCH and I may have absolutely cried my heart out at the end once [long spoiler statement redacted].
Katherine Center can literally do no wrong and I've decided that I want to be a character in one of her stories.
In all seriousness though - this was an absolutely beautiful story and so incredibly full of emotion & depth. It's one that I will highly recommend and makes me absolutely angry at goodreads for not letting me rate higher than 5 stars.
Huge thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. It had no impact on my opinion and I can guarantee that no matter when/how I read the book, I would rate it as high as I did.
