Once Upon A Mistake by Shilpa Suraj is the first part of the Il Cuore series. This is the story of Maya and Yash, and how their life changed completely after an accident, five years ago. Maya being engaged, broke down completely after the accident, was dumped, injured, and drowned in debt. On the other hand, Yash, who was looking forward to a bright future, was devastated when he lost his job and was dumped over a text. What will happen when their paths get entangled again, on both professional and personal fronts, with the whereabouts and deep-rooted effects of the accident? To know more about it, read the book.
This was my first read of 2023, and I could not have asked for a better start than this. Shilpa Suraj found such a deep balance between the character development and story progression, that you will fall in love with her writing, as I did! The ease in the writing, the threads left so that they can either get more complex or could be resolved with time, making the reader completely involved with the story.
Shilpa Suraj portrayed her characters sensationally, giving them layers and exploring the complexity throughout the story. Even the supporting characters are so well penned, that you want to know more of them take it for example, Karam, the bold, sensational, and heart throbbing guy, or Shikha, the royal, less talking, carrying mystery with herself, or Ved, the soft-spoken, carrying the guilt of past, fighting with himself at each step, making us more intrigued about him or the ever fighting Kanak and Akash, each character is written in such a way that the reader can ask for more of them. And I'm intrigued to read the next parts of the series.
It was a perfect book to remind me why I love reading romance as a genre so much, why it's my comfort genre and why I want to read it more. This is a perfect book for romance readers as well as someone who is looking forward to getting into this genre, whoever you are, just read this book! A book I highly recommend.

Second chance romances come with the inherent curiosity of how the story is going end and how the protagonists are going to sort their differences. For that to work, a strong reason for their separation, strong characters and an undercurrent of tension and passion form the key. Once Upon a mistake scores big on all these fronts and has more to offer.Yash, as in Maya’s words, scores with his quiet sexiness as a perfect contrast to Maya’s uninhibited extroverted energy. As with other books from Shilpa, Yash scores big when compared to Maya, as he is perfect in all aspects while Maya fumbles at places with her hasty decisions and conclusions. I liked how the author depicts the aftereffects of one tragic accident, which can change the lives of those involved.I loved how Maya’s character is depicted to be strong, confident despite the permanent disability she acquires post the accident. The author makes that aspect a part of her life in all important situations in the story, as Maya struggles with her injured leg but never lets that hamper her life or career. Maya’s warm relationships with her friends also scores high.But the surprise for the reader is the upcoming story of Kanak and Aakash in the next part in this series, which is totally unexpected by the way their characters hated each other at the beginning of this story. The raw humor and one liner by Maya’s friends in Il Cuore are on point, the conversations between the protagonists will make the reader want to read them repeatedly. The story is equally likeable when it is about the fun between the friends or when it deals with serious professional equations between Yash and Maya.Pick this one if you are looking for a romantic story with lovely protagonists and second chance romance interests you.
