Kristin Rockaway, author of The Wild Womans Guide to Traveling the World "Blind Kiss is Rene Carlino at her finest. The tension between Penny and Gavin leaps off the page. This is a romantic, tender, complicated love story. I found it heartfelt, honest and simply wonderful." Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo "Carlino (Wish You Were Here) impresses and astonishes with this complicated, beautiful contemporary that shifts between past and present with devastating effect . . .
