Easy read! This couple is an interesting one that makes a lot of frustrating decisions and gets in their own way a lot but the way the plot progresses is interesting
I really liked this!! This author is one of my favorites, swear on this life and before we were strangers are two of my favorite books ever. This book didn’t quite reach that same level for me but I did really like it a lot!!
This follows penny, a dancer, and Gavin, a car mechanic. When they were in college they both participated in a psychological study on kissing blindfolded to see wether or not you can feel attraction while not seeing. After their magical kiss they become best friends, and then the story takes place through fourteen years. The story goes back from present day and then the past chapters which goes from 14 years ago until the present. It’s also dual pov<3
Going into this I had no idea what it was about, I just saw the audiobook on the app I use and knew it was by an author I loved and gave it a chance, no regrets! The characters have great chemistry which was there from the start. Their story is complicated and messy but it’s also beautiful and the ending made all the pain worth it
If you like angst and slowburn this book is for you
I loved the reason for the title, it totally sets the stage and reason for it all

More like 4.8 stars but that’s not a real thing.
I do love Renee’s books and this was no different. Some parts made me want to strangle Gavin and Penny but then it all made sense. I did cry about 4 times whilst reading this though...

slow-paced
I don’t think Renée can write a bad book. This book was just as awesome as all her others that I have read. I loved the premise of the story, the slow burn was just right and the characters were well developed.
I feel as though this was a love it or hate it type of book. I loved it but I can easily see how others wouldn’t.

Gah, both MCs were pretty terrible. They sure went about fucking with lots of people's emotions instead of just communicating with each other.

I really liked Before We Were Strangers but Blind Kiss was just ok. It started strong with a unique meet cute but faded as the main characters were kept apart due to foolish decisions. Quick beach read that ultimately didn't deliver. Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for providing a copy in exchange for my honest feedback.
