Before I Saw You by Emily Houghton
4.0
Before I Saw You is a well-written novel about two people who come together following traumatic accidents. It's told with two narrators, Alice, who badly burned half of her body in an office fire; and Alfie, who recently lost a leg in a grisly car accident where his friends lost their lives.
They are neighbors in a rehabilitation ward who speak, but have never seen each other. I loved how Alfie brought Alice out of her shell.
Though it's categorized as romance, it has some pretty heavy themes and very nuanced characters. I found the characters and writing so charming and relatable.
Thank you Gallery Books and NetGalley for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
