He was the complete opposite of her, ready and willing to dive off a cliff-face, or parachute across a canyon--and Laya loved him for it. But she was different: pragmatic, regimented, devoted to her career and to supporting Cameron from the sidelines of his death-defying feats. <p/>Opposites attract, right? <p/>But when Cameron dies suddenly and tragically, all the stages of grief go out the window. Laya becomes lost in denial, living in the delusion that Cameron will come back to her. She begins posting on his Facebook page, reminiscing about their life together, and imagining new adventures for the two of them. <p/>Micah Evans, a young and handsome architect at Laya's father's firm, is also stuck--paralyzed by the banal details of his career, his friendships, and his love life. He doesn't know what he's looking for, only that there is someone out there who can bring energy and spirit to the humdrum of his life. <p/>When Micah discovers Laya's tragic and bizarre Facebook posts, he's determined to show Laya her life is still worth living. Leaving her anonymous gifts and notes, trying to recreate the sense of adventure she once shared with her late husband, Micah finds a new passion watching Laya come out of the darkness. And Laya finds a new joy in the experiences Micah has created for her. <p/>But for Laya, letting another man in still feels like a betrayal to her late husband. Even though Micah may be everything she could wish for, she wonders if she deserves to find happiness again. <p/>Written with Renée Carlino's signature "tender and satisfying" (Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of <i>Maybe in Another Life</i>) prose, this warm and compassionate novel shows us how powerful the courage to love and live again truly is. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>Blind Kiss</i></b> <p/>"<i>Blind Kiss</i> beautifully illustrates how destiny prevails over even the best-laid plans.
