    "description": "For fans of Close Enough to Touch and Me Before You comes a poignant and moving novel about two patients who fall in love as they recover from traumatic injuries in the same hospital ward\u2026all without seeing each other.\n\nAlice Gunnersley and Alfie Mack sleep just a few feet apart from one another. They talk for hours every day. And they\u2019ve never seen each other face-to-face.\n\nAfter being in terrible accidents, the two now share the same ward as long-term residents of St. Francis\u2019s Hospital. Although they don\u2019t get off to the best start, the close quarters (and Alfie\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.\n\nBut as their conditions improve and the end of their stay draws closer, Alfie and Alice are forced to decide whether it\u2019s worth continuing a relationship with someone who\u2019s seen all of the worst parts of you, but never seen your actual face.\n\nA tender novel of healing and hope, Before I Saw You reminds us that connections can be found even in the most unexpected of places\u2014and that love is almost always blind.",
