The brand new romcom from a New York Times bestseller, perfect for fans of Emily Henry's Book Lovers, The Spanish Love Deception, and The Unhoneymooners.

Love isn't blind, it's just a little blurry...

Sadie Montgomery 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. Only it happens to coincide with a minor surgery she needs to have...

Upon recovery, it begins to dawn on Sadie that she can see everything around her, but she can no longer see faces.

She doesn't want anyone to know about her face blindness. Not Dr. Addison, the vet treating her beloved dog Peanut, and definitely not Joe, her obnoxious neighbour 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 past, and handle falling in love with two different guys, she realises that happiness can be found in the placesβ€”and peopleβ€”you least expect.
