Bad Girl Gone Good by Alisha Kay
5.0
Bad Girl Gone Good by Alisha Kay is a second chance romance story, being the first book in ‘The Bad Girl’ series. This is the story of Aisha Rajput, a planner, especially of parties, when given a task to plan a hospital fundraiser by Rajmata of Bannor, tackles various obstructions, the largest one being Kabir, who replaced his father and is one of the board members and doctor at Usha Kiran, a small multi-speciality hospital, the same hospital! What will happen when their past will collide with their present? To know more about it, read the book.
The story was very well developed and I loved the fact that the characters were given a fulfilling space, where we can see endless probabilities of things that might appear or happen, making us curious to know till the end, at the same time being grounded to who they are and what they’re doing and being closer to the reality.
Although the pace of the story is a little slow in some instances, there is calmness and groundedness in the writing of Alisha Kay, thus making the experience of reading a romance very tranquil, very smooth, and very real, even when you see the characters being from a class different from you, having connections you don’t, doing things which you haven’t, but at the same time, feel connected with them.
You can see the division of class in the character arc of Kabir and Aisha, thus giving a very real representation of their background and how their actions are being affected by it. The visible contrast between them is depicted quite well, through their emotions, thoughts, and behaviour.
The author has picked up the cord of the readers through the emotions, because everything can change among us as a person, as an individual, but what we all of us have in common is a human emotion and very few authors nowadays can pick up that cord in their writing, especially in a romance book, where in between the steamy scenes and the emotions becomes a background and things feel very surficial. And the author deserves applause for it, for presenting a super fun entertaining story, with flawed characters, tangled past, disoriented families, supportive friends, and lots of “highlight” worthy moments!
The story of other “Bad Girls” that is Tara Wadhwa, captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, and Inaya Khan, CEO of a very successful skincare company has stood out well in whatever space is given to them, making me curious enough to know more about them, thus making me excited for the upcoming books in the series! The character of D Ma, the Rajmata of Bannor is very jovial and gives some of the best instances from the book, a character you can easily imagine when you will just think about any cool senior citizen from a movie or series!
I enjoyed reading the book, and I would want to read more books by the author as well as other books in this series. If you are looking for a romance book in an Indian setting, having lots of fun, drama, and entertainment, go for it!
