Blind Kiss by Renée Carlino
3.0

I have struggled with what to say about this book. I enjoyed it, but at the same time I kind of didn't enjoy it. It had some really great parts. 

The premise of this book is great. I really loved the idea of the blind kiss and its profoundness. However, I wasn't a fan of how everything played out afterward.

This isn't a second chance romance. I would call it a million missed opportunities romance, to the point I was getting bored with the push and pull after a while.

I think my discord with this book had a lot to do with the characters. I just wasn't invested in Penny or Gavin. Their character development wasn't very strong. I couldn't really feel their connection. Maybe it was because this book was more dialogue driven. A lot of times getting to know characters and feeling chemistry falls in the inner monologue of the story, which was minimal in this one.

Overall, this isn't a bad book. It is pretty good. It definitely isn't one of my favorites of Carlino's, that is for sure. I can see many loving it. I am just hanging out in the middle. I liked it, but I didn't love it.
