In this New Adult drama full of wit, friendship, and botched revenge, a group of people in their twenties navigate life and love in New York City.

With a promising future, Sophia's dreams are finally within reach. However, everything unravels when she crosses paths with Nick, a loner craving acceptance. Three years later, when their lives intersect again, Sophia, fueled by revenge but terrible at it, wants Nick to pay for his past actions. Her two best friends, Lucy, rich and spoiled, and Sidney, broke and super stressed out running her cafe BAGEL, BABKA, AND BOBA, both question her motives. Further complicating matters is a book, Sense and Nonsense, by enigmatic teen author Buffy Malibu, which becomes a global sensation and captivates female readers worldwide for all the wrong reasons.

In this funny, unpredictable, and sometimes dark work, Sophia, her friends, and Nick navigate the complexities of life in bustling New York City, exploring the intricacies of relationships, the challenges of fame, and the unpredictability of love and life.

Strikingly original story from a bright new voice

Once in a while a book comes along that’s wonderfully different from anything you’ve read before, and Blinded is one of these. A zany romp through present day New York city, Sophia is catapulted into adulthood by a devastating purple moment. Her life is far from ruined, though, built as it is on a foundation of a random, gratuitous act of life-saving kindness and nourished by love and friendship in its myriad forms ranging from unadulterated self-centeredness, adoration, and timeless sisterly devotion. Bonus items include the periodic ministrations of well-endowed males and a killer rabbit of Caerbannog tattoo.

I enjoyed this book. Great plot and story line.

If Nora Ephron and Tarantino wrote a book and asked Christopher Nolan to add a time travel subplot. The book reads like a movie and is packed with characters and story. It’s a lot of story to take in but well worth the time. It’s full of humor, spice, satire and at times it’s dark. I loved all the characters. Unlike anything I’ve ever read.
