This was an interesting premise, and well written with a good back and forth POV. Not super realistic situations,  though, and the ending was SO abrupt. It needs like three more chapters. It felt like the author had to quickly wrap it up, and that overall takes away from the book. But it was a very readable, relatively quick story!

My first time reading a book by Emily Houghton and there is so many emotions that came over me while I read this inspiring story.

This story is about Alice & Alfie who have both been in two traumatic accidents. Even though Alice doesn’t want to be seen, they form a friendship behind the curtain and become the support they both surprisingly needed.

I loved this story from start to finish. It was fast pace and difficult to put down. This is a different kind of romance book, it focuses on the trauma, support and a found family as well as finding a way to fit back into reality.
There had been many moments this book brought me to tears of the realisation of what many people in real life must go through. 

Alice & Alfie’s story felt real, true and more realistic than some stories. The way the author linked friendships, normality, laughter, grief, trauma, romance, support, found family and so much more into this inspiring story was so beautiful. 

It’s definitely a story I recommend if you would like to read a different kind of romance book that brings all the feels 🥲 x

Thank you Gallery Books for a copy of Before I Saw You. This was an emotional read about 2 strangers meeting at their lowest and forming a friendship. I love how Alfie was so resilient in the hospital despite being in a horrible car crash while Alice’s case was complete opposite. I love how determined Alfie was in developing a friendship. I love the time they spent in the hospital and how they communicated without seeing each other.
