BLURB
Hi, I am Avinash, but this is not my story. This is the story of Avni, my sister. I know the smell of cement and bricks still pulls her to the incident seven years ago where she made a daring yet ruthless decision. I know she is drifting away. I know she has begun to find comfort in Vivaan. But I don’t know if I like it.
Hi, I am Avni, but this is not my story. This is the story of Vivaan, the stunning, vivacious painter. There is something sad about the paintings he has locked away from the world in his storeroom. But he never talks about it. But then there are a lot of things he doesn’t talks about, like how deeply he loves me.
And what about Dev and Kangana? Isn’t this their story too? It wouldn’t have been if only we did one single thing differently on that ill-fated night, the night that changed the course of our destiny. And hey, I am Vivaan.
And what about me? Why does nobody talk about me? Or talk to me? Because I am a little girl or because…Well, this is my story too. You will ask who I am? The answer lies somewhere in the pages of BEYOND SCARS.
My Review:
An incident or an event leaves an impact on
any child. If it is a happy one, it stays in memories life long but if it is an
unpleasant one it leaves a scar on the soul and mind of a child which doesn't
fade away. Most of times children observe their elders and at some point of
life turn either an exact replica of their parents or hate their parents and
try their best as not to become like them.
If Beyond
Secrets left a mark on my soul then Beyond
Scars shook my soul. Beyond Scars
is the second book of the Beyond series by Alka Dimri Saklani. The book is
about Avni, Avinash and Vivaan with many other characters, who play a
significant role.
The story of twins Avni and Avinash, their
sibling love, their protectiveness towards each other is really touching.
Vivaan aka Appoo's story really makes you cry. I liked the author’s style
wherein she has maintained the suspense until the very end. The climax was
different and not at all predictable.
Initially, I found the story little slow
paced but then once the speed caught up there was no stopping to it.
Beyond
Scars is
definitely a must read by all but it is definitely not a light-hearted read but
a soul touching read which leaves you pondering about many things and for a
very long time.
