Katherine Center does romance right. “Hello Stranger” is a joyful, funny novel about a portrait artist named Sadie navigating facial blindness, her big career break, and love. To quote the author’s note this novel built anticipation beautifully with the multiple love interests. I also recommend that everyone, whether you’re interested in the novel or not, pick it up in a bookstore and read the author’s note. It is a beautiful tribute to the importance of romance novels and worth the read. “Hello Stranger” was a delight to read, and it has brought me immense joy.
