A truly beautiful love story that will make you weep. All the stars for this book that will hit you right in the feels and force you to become emotionally invested.

Joel is not a Spider-Man because he doesn't crawl like a Spider. Since he’s not large nor particularly muscled he’s no Iron-Man either ...

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 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. 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. I was completely fascinated by everything in this book to do with dreams. If this had been the sole focus of the book throughout its entirety I would have adored this book. It does play a very important part of the book. However there was definitely a part in the middle that was slower and less focused on it. 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. It made me feel every emotion. I would recommend this book over and over and over again. The concept is new and original although I thought I may personally find it a bit cheesy - but I did not. It was just incredible.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 This book had me in tears. I can't stop thinking about Callie and Joel and what my choices would be in their circumstances. Beautiful and heartbreaking." - Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost and More Than Words This book is emotional, meaningful and significant. There were parts that were absolutely heartbreaking. And there were parts that made me cry.

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. Narrated in the first person with chapters which alternate between Joel and Callie the story conveys both characters empathy, resilience and compassion in the face of extraordinarily testing circumstances. Despite not being a fan of love stories this one had rather more depth to it than usual and the characters actually felt like they had a meaningful connection and convincing rapport.

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. Understandably he is not keen on letting himself love anyone else and works hard at isolating himself from relationships, all the while trying to alter the future by subtely warning his friends and family to avoid certain activities, places or actions or by taking matters into his own hands to change their paths and avoid that foreseen destiny. 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.
