Blind Kiss

By Renee Carlino

Book Overview

"Heartfelt, honest and simply wonderful." -- Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

From the bestselling author of Before We Were Strangers, Swear on this Life, and Wish You Were Here comes a powerful story of two people who spend years denying their scientifically proven chemistry.

Penny spends her afternoons sitting outside a sandwich shop, surrounded by ghosts. Fourteen years ago, this shop was her childhood dance studio--and she was a dancer on the rise. Now she's a suburban housewife, dreading the moment her son departs for MIT, leaving her with an impeccably decorated McMansion and a failing marriage. She had her chance at wild, stars-in-her-eyes happiness, but that was a lifetime ago. After The Kiss. Before The Decision.

The Kiss was soulful. Magical. Earth-shattering. And it was all for a free gift card. Asked to participate in a psych study that posed the question, "Can you have sexual chemistry without knowing what the other person looks like?" Penny agreed to be blindfolded, make polite conversation with a total stranger, and kiss him. She never expected The Kiss to change her life forever and introduce her to Gavin: tattooed, gorgeous, and spontaneous enough to ask her out seconds after the blindfolds came off.

For a year, they danced between friendship and romance--until Penny made The Decision that forced them to settle for friendship. Now, fourteen years later, both of their lives are about to radically change--and it's his turn to decide what will become of their once-in-a-lifetime connection.

Loved it!

I look at this book as proof that things will work in the end the way they're supposed to... even if you take the long way around. Penny and Gavin are fun and flawed, like all the best people really are. I love the friendship that is woven throughout this book and how time and circumstances are just no match for true friendship and connection.
