The Second First Chance is a slowwww burn romance. Dhillon and Riya have been neighbors since they were five and would have been a simple friends-to-lovers story if not for a tragic fire in their families' shared townhouse that took the lives of Riya's brother and Dhillon's father. Rather than bringing them closer, their grief created a wall between them. Now, 15 years after the fire, they find themselves grappling with the fact that their true feelings for one another never faded despite those walls.
This was a quick, enjoyable read. It was definitely a tear-jerker at times, and I especially loved the descriptions of the sibling relationships.
