“The Art of Scandal” by Regina Black follows Rachel Abbott, the spouse of an up-and-coming politician, who uncovers her husband’s infidelity on his fortieth birthday. Rachel agrees to keep up the appearance of a perfect marriage until her husband’s reelection campaign concludes, in return for financial stability. However, her life takes an unexpected twist when she meets Nathan Vasquez, a young artist who rekindles her passion for art and life.
Their immediate and intense connection forces Rachel to reflect on what she truly desires. The story alternates between Rachel and Nathan’s point of view which I loved because you are privy to both of their emotions. This adds depth to the story. Rachel feels free to follow her true desires, even at the risk of scandal.
“The Art of Scandal” speaks of love, ambition, and self-realization. It’s a must-read for contemporary romance lovers who like a little drama and messiness as I do.
