Porém, também sonha com aquele amigo que irá espatifar o carro com a bebé no banco de trás, com a amiga que vai morrer de cancro mas ainda se encontra na mais pura ignorância, etc, etc… And though they’re not looking for each other, from the moment they meet it feels like the start of something life-changing. The Sight of You is listed as book one in The Sight of You series (listed as two books). However there is no cliffhanger. And the story ends with a complete ending.
Ce nu mi-a plăcut în schimb a fost lungimea cărții. Mi se pare că putea fi mult mai scurtă și să transmită aceleași emoții și idei. Cam în toate “etapele” am simțit că au fost lungite inutil scenele și uneori m-am plictisit, dar mă știți pe mine și gradul meu de răbdare.🤣 Joel has sworn off falling in love.

This book had me in tears. I can’t stop thinking about Callie and Joel and what my choices would be in their circumstances. Beautiful and heartbreaking.” Both Callie and Joel are likable characters and it does raise thought provoking questions. Would you want to know when your death will occur if you could or not? Steve, Joel’s friend is also a lovely character as are a couple of the other secondary characters. Sonha com promoções, gravidezes, golpes de sorte, cortes de cabelo, compras no supermercado, lidas domésticas, almoços, jantares, desporto, etc, etc… Enter Callie, who makes him fall in love, who encourages him to open up and who ultimately he sees the future for in one of his dreams.

had he stayed away from that place on that day or had she not seen him or had he intercepted her a bit before and just asked her out for a coffee chat or something - i'm fairly certain she would have stayed alive. Such a great premise for a book- nothing perhaps new but told so well that it feels real from the outset. A compelling “what if” question lies at the crux of Holly Miller’s poignant and life-affirming debut which explores the concept of whether it is possible to love someone wholeheartedly given the knowledge of how and when it will end. Despite the quirky scenario the novel is surprisingly thought-provoking and a bittersweet look at selfless love and the importance of living in the moment. If you read the signs, you know Joel and Callie will not be in a relationship for a long time. Having the author explore both character's lives after the breakup was brilliant. Particularly, how they met up again at the end of Callie's life. That was very touching and I felt my eyes misting as I read it. Joel has sworn off falling in love. But when he meets Callie, he can't help being drawn to her. In Callie, he sees a second chance at life. And in Joel, Callie discovers the kind of love she'd always hoped was real. They challenge each other to take chances, to laugh, and to trust that no matter how hard each falls, the other will be there to catch them.
Some books rip you apart, even as you are marveling at how beautifully put together they are — The Sight of You is one of these. Holly Miller — with her startling metaphors and finely-etched portrait of a star-crossed relationship — has created a novel that is unique and breathtaking and painful and broken and perfect…just like love. I’m still crying, yet all I want to do is settle down and read it again.” He dreams about promotions, pregnancies, haircuts, grocery shopping, home routines, lunches, dinners, sports, etc, etc... The story is of Callie and Joel and how they meet and he knows when she is going to die. It’s a story where I kept hoping it would go the way that I personally wanted it to. I never at any point stopped rooting for Joel and Callie.

We then find out what Joel's secret is. I personally did not want to know in advance what it was (but it is listed in the book blurb). But it has to do with dreams. Thanks to @netgalley & @hodderbooks for the chance to read this contemporary fiction which will now be one of my go to recommendations. Publishing June 2020 💕
