Meet Sonal Kapoor. An entrepreneur who revived a closing florist’s store with her heart and soul, a young lady with a busy life in the heart of London, and a doting daughter who wants to do a lot for her mother, but simply can’t find the time. Sonal has a difficult past – one that she sought to overcome in her move from India to London. And yet, something or the other keeps the trauma alive.
Until Dr. Ryan Percy enters her life.
A chance encounter at their neighbourhood convenience store leads from one thing to the next – and eventually, Sonal is challenged in ways she never thought would be possible. Dr. Percy is everything one can expect in the man of their dreams – and he comes with a painful past, too. There is a piece in the jigsaw of his life that is missing, and he thinks of it as having been found – but whether that piece will sit or not, remains a question.
Does Sonal heal or hurt more? Does Ryan find what he is looking for? Does love conquer all?
Scars Do Heal
Scars do heal is the first book by Shilpa Menon. She is a new author and I was really excited to read this story. It’s a romance about an Indian woman named Sonal and a English man named Ryan. Sonal was raped 6 years prior and had not been able to have a relationship since. Ryan had his own trauma and has also not been able to be with anyone in years. So he finds Sonal and boom it all changes.
Its a decently long story but a extremely slow until about a ¾ of the way through. I had a significantly hard time connecting with any of the characters. I wanted to know more about Ryan and Sonal’s family. At some points I felt like I still had no idea who some of the characters were.
Even though the action in the book was not spread out I did love the ending. It had a few twists that I was not expecting, and definitely had me saying YOU GO GIRL! a few times. I expected a lot more out of Scars do Heal a stronger protagonist, a bit more character development so it came up a bit short for me.
