This unique and heartfelt romance is a recommended first purchase for adult fiction collections, particularly where romance and women's fic is popular.

If NetGalley gave readers the ability to give 2.5 stars, that's what I'd give to Holly Miller's The Sight of You. Readers really get to know Callie and Joel, their struggles together and independently, their goals, and their desires for the future. However, the first hundred and fifty pages are paced incredibly slowly. Normally, I'm a fairly patient reader and I'm glad I finished this novel, but in the novel's current state, I wouldn't recommend it.

This was a sweet love story. It was so sad throughout though and I was really rooting for the characters. All of the missed opportunities and miscommunications left me feeling a lot of angst. It was an interesting perspective and I appreciate how the author wove the story. I was completely invested in the characters and was cheering for them throughout. At times the plot moves lightning quick, other times it crawled along. I wish the last third of the book had been slowed down a bit to really get their viewpoints across. Overall, a beautiful love story with likable characters. 3.5 ⭐️ My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Gosh I loved this book! It’s definitely got some sadness in it, but it is a beautiful love story. I sometimes don’t like multiple narrators, but the author does a great job with the two narrators in this book. Highly recommended!

Picture this: You've met the love of your life. Only he holds a bitter secret. When he dreams at night, he dreams of those he cares for most, and whatever transpires in those dreams becomes fact. Would you stay with that person knowing they've had a dream about you regarding your fate? Or would you leave?

The plot was so unique! I couldn't help but turn the pages, desperate to find out what will become of Joel and Callie. I loved their relationship. And then to find out about Joel and his dreams!!! UUGGHH!!

I have mentioned this before.. I'm not really a romance type of reader.. but I devoured this book. It was special and unique and impossibly memorable. Don't NOT read this just because "You Don't Do Romance". I implore you to give THE SIGHT OF YOU a try! You'll be hooked!

This was a sweet, tender, and unique love story that shows sometimes the best way to love someone is to let them go. The story started out a bit slow, but after the first 25% or so, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. This could be more about my own distraction in this stressful time, but I had a hard time keeping up with all of the minor characters. There's also quite a bit of British slang/phrasing that isn't really accessible for an American audience. Ultimately though, I enjoyed it and I'd recommend it!! Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for early access to The Sight of You!

Between the unique plot, the beautiful and lyrical way Miller writes and the emotions her words invoke, I throughly enjoyed reading The Sight of You.
Joel has a huge secret and an unique gift, one that causes him to stay away from people by being emotionally distant. That is until he meets Callie and realizes she’s the love of his life.
A heart wrenching novel that is joyous and sad at the same time.
