Hello Stranger

Bookseller recommendation

“Oh my goodness! Where to begin? As if I did not love all of Katherine Center's books, Hello Stranger really hit me in the feels! I always love narration, the tone of her books, the strong female lead, and the plot twists and story lines that get you in the heart. This book is probably her best yet for all of these. Sadie, a portrait artist, becomes face blind and has to navigate a very challenging time in her life (and potentially professionally life changing opportunity). Not being able to read faces as she used to, Sadie is required to learn to navigate the world, communication, and relationships in a whole new way, not always successfully. LOVED the main characters in this book and still aching from a book hangover 2 weeks after finishing it. SCORE this one 5 STARS!!!”

“This fun and quirky audiobook is the perfect listen for summertime. I can always count on Katherine Center to deliver a great “beach read” and this one is no different. When a portrait artist all of a sudden finds herself unable to see faces - including her own! - her entire life gets spun upside down. Great narrator, too! ”

“I couldn't put this down - this book is full of hope, happiness, and humor! When life throws a wrench in Sadie's plans, she faces her challenges head-on and learns a new way of seeing and interacting with the world. Sadie's diagnosis of face blindness is so interesting and adds layers to this story that allows her to explore real-life struggles and tackle them (including her evil step-sister), all while falling in love and dealing with the weirdness and humor that is life. The audiobook was quite enjoyable!”

“I loved this audiobook! Author Katherine Center knows how to write romantic comedies. If you want a heartwarming romance about two people learning to trust each other and discovering that not everything is as it seems, then you can't go wrong with Hello Stranger!! ”

“Those who unabashedly love Katherine Center books will adore this read. Sadie, an artist, after a brain incident that leaves her face blind, falls for not one, but two completely different men. And, on top of that, she has to deal with her best friend's elopement and family dynamics that put the 'dys', in dysfunction. How she navigates all of it, will leave you laughing, and maybe a tiny bit crying as well. ”
