Hello, Stranger: The brand new romcom from an international bestseller! : Center, Katherine: desertcart.in: Books Review: 3.5 rounded up; Cute (but not wow) - There are enough laughs and awkward scenes to keep the story light and cater to the ‘com’ of rom-com. There’s some ‘rom’ too, though it gets lost in ramblings and redeems only the last 15%. I understand the struggling artist trope, and combined with Sadie’s past, it should make me sympathetic toward her. However, a majority of the time, Sadie's character sounds whiny and immature. The last 20% is the best part of the book. However, it comes a little too late, and one thing happens after another to tie up the loose ends. To summarize, Hello Stranger is a cute book with some noteworthy themes and a few laughs. Pick it up if you want something breezy and light (though I cannot help but say- it could have been better) Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, for the eARC.
