About this deal

If you want a book that will only make you feel happy then this book is not for you. But if you want something that will make you think and feel then this is your book. The premise of this book was incredible. Callie is working at a coffee shop, honoring the dream of her best friend Grace who died in a tragic traffic accident. She enjoys her job but her education and passion has always been for the environment and animal habitats. She is intrigued by Joel who begins to frequent the coffee, always alone.

Pažindamas ją artimiau jaučiuosi taip, tarsi leisčiau laiką užsienio šalyje. Vietoje, apie kurią dažnai pagalvodavau, bet niekada neturėjau drąsos tyrinėti.”✨ Enter Callie, who makes him fall in love, who encourages him to open up and who ultimately he sees the future for in one of his dreams.Although the plot doesn’t explore that alley, I couldn't resist letting these questions hang in the air…

And though they’re not looking for each other, from the moment they meet it feels like the start of something life-changing. Joel has sworn off falling in love. But when he meets Callie, he can't help being drawn to her. In Callie, he sees a second chance at life. And in Joel, Callie discovers the kind of love she'd always hoped was real. They challenge one another to take chances, to laugh, and to trust that no matter how hard each falls, the other will be there to catch them. so him "knowing" that she will die and making her aware of it directly contributed to her actually dying.

Diaries & Calendars

A stunning and gracefully written tearjerker about destiny, dreams, and selfless love…Heart-breaking and life-affirming. Readers should be prepared to cry.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Joel, used to be a vet till circumstances forced him to abandon it. Joel also has a secret. He dreams about people he loves seeing future events sometimes years before they happen. For this reason he mostly cuts himself off from people and especially from falling in love. But then he meets Callie. Despite his best efforts he falls for her fast and deeply. In Callie he experiences love. But then he has a dream that shatters his new found joy. His dream reveals Callie’s death. Is there any way to prevent this happening? Some books rip you apart, even as you are marveling at how beautifully put together they are — The Sight of You is one of these. Holly Miller — with her startling metaphors and finely-etched portrait of a star-crossed relationship — has created a novel that is unique and breathtaking and painful and broken and perfect…just like love. I'm still crying, yet all I want to do is settle down and read it again." - Jodi Picoult, author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things The Sight of You is a moving story of love and sacrifice. It’s a beautiful, well-written book where tears are unavoidable. If you don’t mind getting all weepy at the end of a book, I recommend you go on this journey of two people who have finally found true love but know that it is going to end.

Joel has dreams - don't we all - but his foretell the future. He has hidden this ability from everyone since he was a child and it has affected his whole life especially his ability to make relationships. So when he meet Callie he is desperate not to get involved but he does and finds happiness until one night he dreams of their fate. Ser-lhe-á permitido desfrutar da amizade e do amor sem agruras nem tremuras?! E se der de caras com o Amor da sua vida?! Com a sua Alma Gémea?! Irá avançar sem temores ou recuar com receio que alguma fatalidade que se avizinha se introduza no seu espaço onírico, projetando-o em flecha para o abismo?!… Joel our main character is a dreamer, but he only dreams about people he knows and loves. Because Joel is special, he can see into the future with his dreams, he becomes a little bit of a recluse because of this. Knowing he cannot change his dreams in real life he doesn't want to risk love anymore. Joel doesn't want to see the future of someone he loves so he avoids people at all costs. A very emotional story that asks an interesting question. How would you live your life if you knew what would happen to your loved ones?Thanks to @netgalley & @hodderbooks for the chance to read this contemporary fiction which will now be one of my go to recommendations. Publishing June 2020 💕 The story is of Callie and Joel and how they meet and he knows when she is going to die. It’s a story where I kept hoping it would go the way that I personally wanted it to. I never at any point stopped rooting for Joel and Callie.

I cant say to much because I would ruin it for you... but set across six years we hear narration from Joel and Callie. Poor Joel in agony because he knows whats going to happen in the future. Does he tell Callie and does Callie want to know what he sees in his dreams? How would you react? Would you want to know what Joel dreamt about you? Joel has sworn off falling in love. But when he meets Callie, he can’t help being drawn to her. In Callie, he sees a second chance at life. And in Joel, Callie discovers the kind of love she’d always hoped was real. They challenge each other to take chances, to laugh, and to trust that no matter how hard each falls, the other will be there to catch them. Such a well written book this is a romance story with a difference and I bet will be turned into a movie. Both Callie and Joel are likable characters and it does raise thought provoking questions. Would you want to know when your death will occur if you could or not? Steve, Joel’s friend is also a lovely character as are a couple of the other secondary characters.Such a great premise for a book- nothing perhaps new but told so well that it feels real from the outset. Since he was a child he's been haunted by dreams about the people he loves. Visions of what's going to happen--the good and the bad. And the only way to prevent them is to never let anyone close to him again. The Sight of You is listed as book one in The Sight of You series (listed as two books). However there is no cliffhanger. And the story ends with a complete ending.
