At First Sight, is one of those great books you stat and can't stop reading. Charlie meets Nell in a coffee shop and the two hit it off from the start. But, as time goes on Nell realizes that Charlie has a lot of issues and he might not be ready for a relationship. I really liked this book and my heart broke for Charlie and Nell but I kept reading hoping these two would have their happy ending.

Many thanks to the author, publishers and Netgalley for a free ARC of this ebook.
This story explores some sensitive issues around grief and suicide ideation. Although the book is well written, I felt that credulity is stretched way too far by so many coincidental meetings, and especially that Crisis Helpline operators meet service users IRL, and have ongoing relation ships with them. I found this whole contrstuct unacceptable.
There were are. Umber of colourful characters who had a se se of realism about them, but overall for it was a decent romance with some flaws.

How to say this...... I liked this book but didn't love it. I mean the plot was promising and the writing was great but I couldn't relate much to the characters so it became a but boring for me. I thought that I would love it, I really did since I loved the previous book by the author but it didn't do much for me. The story is nice but just not for me. I would still recommend it though.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the early readers copy.

I received an advance copy of, At First Sight, by Hannah Sunderland. I did not like this book at all. the main character has no morals, I just could not get passed that, she was a bit annoying too.

@flounderinghanauthor has done it again and blown me away with another amazing book.
At First Sight is due to be released April 2021, so preorder your copy if you're a sucker for romances like me! After her debut novel Very Nearly Normal was released earlier this year I wasn't sure anything could top my love for Effie, but both Nell and Charlie have officially stolen my heart!

Trigger Warnings - Loss, Grief, Depression & mentions of suicide
First of all a huge thank you to Avon books for sending me a free copy via Netgalley and thank you Hannah for writing another book for me to fall in love with.

Nell & Charlie meet by chance in a cafe and there is an instant spark that all us romantics hope for, then fate brings them together again when Nell gets a phone call at work and Charlie is at the other end.

Nell is about to risk it all to fall in love and save the stranger she met the cafe. Charlie has a secret he isn't ready to face up to yet, but can Nell help him once and for all?

Once again Hannah has written the perfect yet flawed characters for us to fall in love with and root for throughout. I didn't want to put this down and deal with real life until I knew how this book was going to end, and I held my breath praying it ended the way I needed it to.

This book needs a huge trigger warning for suicide and death of a spouse. Based on the description, I didn't quite realize what I was getting into. There were a few things/coincidences that happened (that I don't want to spoil) that were a bit unbelievable.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange for a honest review .

3.5 stars to this book!

I found the idea of the book pretty exciting but the execution was not that perfect


The story was quick and slow at the same times. The characters could have been explored more .


The essence of the story looked cliche after some pages.

A delightful love story, full of romance and serendipity, that will make even the toughest cynic believe in love again. An excellent read!
