Book: Once Upon A Scandal
Author: Shilpa Suraj
Genre: Romance
Format: E-book
Pages: 245
Once Upon A Scandal by Shilpa Suraj is the second book in the Il Cuore series. The first book, Once Upon A Mistake focused on the story of Maya and Yash, this book explores the story of Kanak Shourie and Aakash Thakkar, the characters that stood out quite well in the first book which I definitely wanted to read more about, and the author served it!
Kanak and Akash, are the characters who are opposites to each other, while the former wants fun in her life, enjoys time with friends and their families, and the latter is a man of responsibilities, who knows his duties and heritage. What will happen when they both have to deal with each other because of a scandal? Will their hate for each other change with time? To know more about it, read the book.
Shilpa Suraj explores the enemies-to-lovers troupe every time sensationally, and it was fascinating for me to see how well she explored this troupe in her two books that I have read, with the dilemma of emotions, contrast between the brain, heart, and body, and of the changing equations of the relationships.
The contrast between what you want and what you need, between what is expected from you and what you do is shown very well through the journey of the characters. The moments that Kanak and Aakash shared were literally like the crest and trough of a wavelength, and it was a sight to see! The bond between Kanak and Aakash’s mother gave some of the most heartwarming moments in the story, and I just wished there could have been more of them, with at least some of the involvement of Kanak’s family in the larger picture as well.
This was a book that came to my rescue when I was not well and I can’t thank the author enough for this. And I can’t wait to read the story of Ved and Aayushi, especially after whatever happened in the last few pages! I’ll give it 4/5 stars.
It was provided with a copy of the e-book in exchange for an honest review.
