#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 maybe I will look that up. As someone with face blindness, I'd like to see how it's portrayed. But then, it seems kind of variable, too. My experience seems much milder than, for example, what Oliver Sacks described in some of his interviews of sometimes not even recognizing himself in a mirror.

@pretensesoup @willaful Katherine Center's latest ("Hello Stranger") leans hard on prosopagnosia for the plot, but apparently Center did a good bit of research to back it up. (Also kisses only, which is not usually my preference, but I like Center's books too much to mind.) @romancelandia @romancebooks
