Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest novel by Katherine Center and wonderfully narrated by a favorite, Patti Murin - 5 stars!
Sadie is finally starting to achieve her dreams - she placed as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competition. But then, the next thing she knows she's lying in a hospital bed with a condition that requires brain surgery. After that surgery, she has face blindness - she can no longer recognize the faces of anyone, which is definitely not a condition that a portrait painter needs. It's supposed to be temporary but shows no sign of abating. She no longer wants to leave her apartment and only does when her beloved dog, Peanut, takes ill. She falls hard for the vet, Dr Addison, who also leaves her disappointed. Then there's her neighbor, Joe. And the competition deadline is approaching!
Katherine Center writes the best romance novels - ones you just want to curl up and immerse yourself in. Which is pretty much what I did. You will root for Sadie, cheer on her friend, Sue, and her family, and shake your head at Sadie's own family. Center's novels give the reader a perfect combination of romance, hope, laughter, joy - I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite but sure loved this one! I switched between the digital and audio versions but I'm a big fan of Patti Murin so ended up listening to much of it. The face blindness aspect was very interesting too - be sure to read the author's note.
