Literally! One minute she's celebrating the biggest achievement of her life―placing as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competition―the next, she's lying in a hospital bed diagnosed with a \"probably temporary\" condition known as face blindness. She can see, but every face she looks at is now a jumbled puzzle of disconnected features. Imagine trying to read a book upside down and in another language. This is Sadie's new reality with every face she sees. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut, as she struggles to cope, hang on to her artistic dream, work through major family issues, and take care of her beloved dog, Peanut, she falls into―love? Lust? A temporary obsession to distract from the real problems in her life?―with not one man but two very different ones. The timing couldn't be worse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to find her way. But perceiving anything clearly right now seems impossible. Even though there are things we can only find when we aren't looking. And there are people who show up when we least expect them. And there are always, always other ways of seeing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"With its emphasis on its central character, combined with its \"swoony\" romance, \"Hello Stranger\" is a hit. Sadie is everything you could want in a protagonist -- the right amount of quirky, sunshiney and stubborn, and the men she's in love with are equally fascinating. All the side characters provide humor and comfort, and even those characters who you aren't \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e supposed to like are annoyingly intriguing and captivating. Center created a brilliant cast of characters, set to a plot that's sure to keep you reading.\" --Michigan Daily\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Center\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.50w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250283788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKATHERINE CENTE R is the New York Times bestselling author of laugh-and-cry novels about love and family, including How to Walk Away, Things You Save in a Fire, and Happiness for Beginners.
