#WhatchaReading ? I just finished Seeing Blind by Poppy Dale, a very sweet, sort of "shop around the corner" romance which is my catnip. Part epistolary, which is also my catnip. Kisses only. Kiss only, really. 😁

One character has prosopagnosia, which is a significant disability for him. Can't say if it's an accurate portrayal but it was very interesting.

Slightly disconcerting that it's set in Manhattan and CA but the author is quite obviously British. 😁

@willaful The hardest thing to swallow in this book is one of the major hurdles; supposedly one of Briar's fictional rivals collapsed financially and was absorbed by Briar, so now their hockey teams need to be combined (and somehow this is a problem for the men's team but not the women?). This isn't a thing that happens often, so I can't say it's not accurately portrayed... but it's not a thing that happens often.

@willaful Anyway none of this in any way affects the quality of the story or the relationship between the main characters, and Kennedy is good at a lot of the things that make romances which are fun to read. It's just like those moments in a movie where the background scenery is clearly from a different city, and you're like, wait a minute... @romancelandia @romancebooks
