Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Hello Stranger

I haven’t listened to a lot of audiobooks before, but I’m glad I chose this one to start of that era of my life! Each and every minute of my day in which I was able to listen, I got my headphones out and pressed play. I was so eager to know what would happen next! Definitely recommend listening to this book if you have the opportunity to, Patti Murin does an excellent job in narrating it!

Despite the Harper 1 and Harper 2 incident, I never saw the Joe/ Dr Adison crossover coming. My jaw legit dropped when that happened. > When Joe ghosted Sadie, my initial thoughts were “I bet Parker did something insane to screw this up”. I wouldn’t have been surprised if that were the case.

Something I wrote down in my notes app when it was revealed that Joe and Dr Addison were the same person:
“ WHAT?!?! He was the guy who bought the wine at the beginning of the book, he was the veterinarian, he was Joe with the bowling jacket? MY MIND IS BLOWN! I didn't see that plot twist coming!!!

No spice/smut. A funny, sort of cute romance novel that wasn’t too over the top.

Such an interesting concept for a story. I had been wanting to read this book for awhile and noticed it recently became available on KU. So I grabbed it up and read it in a day. As the reader, I was able to use the context cues and foreshadowing to figure out what was going on, but it didn’t ruin the story for me at all. I thought Joe was a fabulous character and although I found Sadie a little ditzy, the fact she had a brain condition made that make more sense (I work with someone who has brain condition and sometimes she has these sorts of issues as well). The “face blindness” was fascinating to me and the way it affected Sadie’s ability to paint portraits was devastating but also allowed her to explore another side of creativity. The way she felt so alone—even her BFF left her hanging at a time in her life when she needed support—made me hurt for her. Throughout the book, I laughed, I cried, I got mad at her family, I swooned. All the feels!

9/10. This movie is 1000% a Wattpad book in the best way. I devoured it because it was so interesting and a good romance. Also, I figured out the twist beforehand (no spoilers!) but it still blew my mind! The romance really made me feel things, I love the love interest! I definitely recommend it.
