"Sadie Montogmery has had good breaks and bad breaks in her life, but as a struggling artist, all she needs is one lucky break. Things seem to be going her way when she lands one of the coveted finalist spots in a portrait competition. It happens to coincide with a surgery she needs to have. Minor, they say. Less than a week in the hospital they say. Nothing about you will change, they say. Upon recovery, it begins to dawn on Sadie that she can see everything around her, but she can no longer see faces. Temporary, they say. Lots of people deal with this, they say. As she struggles to cope-and hang onto her artistic dreams-she finds solace in her fourteen-year-old dog, Peanut. Thankfully, she can still see animal faces. When Peanut gets sick, she rushes him to the emergency vet nearby. That's when she meets veterinarian Dr. Addison. And she's pleasantly surprised when he asks her on a date. But she doesn't want anyone to know about her face blindness. Least of all Joe, her obnoxious neighbor who always wears a bowling jacket and seems to know everyone in the building. He's always there at the most embarrassing but convenient times, and soon, they develop a sort of friendship. But could it be something more? As Sadie tries to save her career, confront her haunting past, and handle falling in love with two different guys she realizes that happiness can be found in the places-and people- you least expect"--

This book was sitting on my shelf for the last year, but when I read “The Bodyguard”, i knew i had to pick this book up next and boy am i glad i did!! Katherine Center just has a way of writing that makes me invested within the first few pages. Sadie, who gets diagnosed with face blindness, has to figure out how to work through life without recognizing anyone in it! Which also includes her hot veterinarian, bowler-jacket Joe, mix in her evil step sister, and others. The end was fairly predictable, I’m not gonna lie. But i loved it, just absolutely loved it. Katherine has a way of writing that makes you want to keep on reading and fall in love with the characters. Will most likely reread in the future and will definitely recommend to my other rom-com girlies!
