But when Callie enters his Realm things could be different. Joel slowly allows himself to fall in love against his better judgment and the story unravels. 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?!… We then find out what Joel's secret is. I personally did not want to know in advance what it was (but it is listed in the book blurb). But it has to do with dreams. 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? What an astonishing book. I just loved it. One of those rare books that isbeautifully written and utterly life affirming.”— Kate Thompson, author of Secrets of the Homefront Girls
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. 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. Fans of The Light We Lost and The Time Traveler’s Wife will fall hard for this heart-breaking but ultimately life-affirming novel.” — Booklisthad he stayed away from that place on that day or had she not seen him or had he intercepted her a bit before and just asked her out for a coffee chat or something - i'm fairly certain she would have stayed alive. If you read the signs, you know Joel and Callie will not be in a relationship for a long time. Having the author explore both character's lives after the breakup was brilliant. Particularly, how they met up again at the end of Callie's life. That was very touching and I felt my eyes misting as I read it. 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.
so him "knowing" that she will die and making her aware of it directly contributed to her actually dying. 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. Joel and Callie are strangers who have a meet cute in a local coffee shop where Callie works. Joel is an empty human being who is blessed with the curse of being able to see the future of his loved ones. He has struggled his entire adult life with how to cope with this "gift". He has sworn off any real romantic connection because the other person only gets hurt loving someone who cannot give their full selves in return. Callie has her own share of heartbreak and is a person who lives a very safe life. She puts others before herself and doesn't do enough to break free and live out her own dreams. When Joel and Callie meet and fall in love, the reader is treated to a twist on the typical romance story and the ending is what really elevates this book the most. Joel is a loner. Since childhood, he has had dreams that always come true. His dreams are only about those he loves so he keeps his circle small. He avoids romance and has few friends. Some dreams reveal happy news to come, some foresee bad things that can be avoided with some creative warnings. Others show future illnesses and tragedies. Ce nu mi-a plăcut în schimb a fost lungimea cărții. Mi se pare că putea fi mult mai scurtă și să transmită aceleași emoții și idei. Cam în toate “etapele” am simțit că au fost lungite inutil scenele și uneori m-am plictisit, dar mă știți pe mine și gradul meu de răbdare.🤣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. With such a depth to Joel and his love for Callie he lives his life with realism and sacrifices that Im not sure I could make.
To what extent do we forget about ourselves to surrender to Love without expecting nothing in return?! Is love unconditional or… some sort of commercial trading?! A Giving always conditioned by some eager Taking?!… 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.
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.

All this oneiric diversity, although heterogeneous, has something in common: everyone of these dreams is a premonition — Joel invariably dreams of something that will happen in an eventually near future! 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.
Great Deal
