Sadie Montgomery never saw what was coming . . . Literally! One minute shes celebrating the biggest achievement of her life--placing as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competition--the next shes 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 Sadies new reality. But, 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 in love--not with one man but two. The timing couldnt be worse. Making judgment calls on anything right now is a nightmare. If only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to have it all.

Review "This charming, heartfelt romantic comedy has a well-told, unique storyline, and Sadies prosopagnosia feels deftly explained, explored, and treated with respect. Theres chemistry between the protagonists with a slow-burn relationship, but theres also a focus on Sadies mental and emotional growth, as well as her artistic frustrations and problem-solving methods. Readers who enjoy Jenny Colgan and Susan Mallery will love this engaging, well-written romance from Center (The Bodyguard)." --Library Journal "With a thoroughly modern millennial heroine at the helm, this emotional contemporary from Center (The Bodyguard) tugs on the heartstrings and grabs attention. Portrait artist Sadie Montgomery, 28, may finally get her big break when shes selected to enter a prestigious competition. Unfortunately, the contest coincides with a minor medical procedure that turns into emergency brain surgery, and the recovery process leaves her unable to make sense of human faces. Though warned by her neuropsychiatrist that her (possibly) temporary face blindness may make her interpret her other senses incorrectly, Sadie works to get her painting back on track with the support of her best friend, Sue, and her neighbor, Joe, who she can only recognize from the bowling jacket he wears all the time. She also tries dating her hunky veterinarian, Dr. Addison, hoping a relationship will help her settle back into normal. But is she seeing the whole picture? Center takes Sadies life seriously and her struggles with adulting resonate even before her face blindness sets in. Meanwhile, a dash of humor and an endearing love story make the pages fly. Readers will be hooked." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Fortunately, the narrator believes in Sadies potential for positivity and builds up the character from chapter one. Making it a part of the artists somewhat infantile charm, Murin does not distance herself from Sadies resentments and brings her quirky, self-pitying humor to high shine."- Booklist Details ISBN1250893240 Author Patti Murin Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1250893240 ISBN-13 9781250893246 Format Compact Disc Publication Date 2023-07-11 Short Title Hello Stranger Subtitle A Novel Narrator Patti Murin Playing time 639 Audience General Publisher St Martins Press Imprint St Martins Press Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2023-07-11 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
