<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A poignant and moving novel about two people recovering from traumatic injuries in the same hospital ward ... and who begin falling in love without ever seeing each other"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>For fans of </b><i><b>Close Enough to Touch </b></i><b>and </b><i><b>Me Before You </b></i><b>comes a poignant and moving novel about two patients who fall in love as they recover from traumatic injuries in the same hospital ward...all without seeing each other.</b> <p/>Alice Gunnersley and Alfie Mack sleep just a few feet apart from one another. They talk for hours every day. And they've never seen each other face-to-face. <p/>After being in terrible accidents, the two now share the same ward as long-term residents of St. Francis's Hospital. Although they don't get off to the best start, the close quarters (and Alfie's persistence to befriend everyone he meets) brings them closer together. Pretty soon no one can make Alice laugh as hard as Alfie does, and Alfie feels like he's finally found a true confidante in Alice. Between their late night talks and inside jokes, something more than friendship begins to slowly blossom between them. <p/>But as their conditions improve and the end of their stay draws closer, Alfie and Alice are forced to decide whether it's worth continuing a relationship with someone who's seen all of the worst parts of you, but never seen your actual face. <p/>A tender novel of healing and hope, <i> Before I Saw You</i> reminds us that connections can be found even in the most unexpected of places--and that love is almost always blind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Houghton creates a unique meet cute in this debut contemporary romance brimming with heart...
