“You’re going to make me love you, aren’t you?”
“I’m sure going to try.”

The only thing I can say or ask is, what have I been doing with myself?

I’ve had this seating in my library since the day it came out, and I’ve been delaying reading this just for the fact that I had to prioritize other books, but anyway, I’ve been seeing early reviews all over my social media and Goodreads from friends, fellow bookstagrammers and some beloved authors. You can understand my curiosity.

I caved. Today I woke up and decided to not read the book I was supposed to read and read Scandalized instead. And let me tell you, BEST. DECISION. EVER.

I could not put this down. This book was like a k-drama come to life in the best way possible, it felt like a dream come true.

Right off the bat, the chemistry between Alec and Gigi is insane. I’m going to be honest, I’ve never read a book with so much chemistry, so intense and most importantly, so well displayed.
The way the author describes these heated moments makes them transport the reader into the scene and it feels like you’re the character, and surprisingly it’s not boring or over-detailed.

Gigi is animated, sweet, clumsy, fun and entertaining. I loved being inside her head and getting to know her. She’s Alec’s complete opposite but they fit like puzzle pieces.
Alec is more stoic, he’s also incredibly sweet. He’s actually a big teddy bear. He will do anything for the people he loves.

They had me swooning so hard, I was kicking my lungs in the air and giggling. The interactions between them are full of love and heat.

Another thing I loved, the suspense aspect in the plot. Unexpected but not unwelcome.

It was intriguing and it fit so well into the story. I also loved seeing Gigi’s work so highlighted and active.

This all made this book all more irresistible.

GO READ THIS!
