This is yet another series where I started halfway through, which didn't take away from the story but definitely left me intrigued! Preeti and Daniel were together in college but split for a few different reasons. Due to unforeseen circumstances end up sharing the same apartment. This book has a will they-won't they vibe to it which leaves us wondering where they can go with so much history. Loved this story and the characters and getting to learn more about different cultures. Can't wait to read more by Sajni Patel!

First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel is a delightful second chance at love, forced proximity love story. Preeti and Daniel are such loveable characters that I was rooting for them both throughout the entire book. Their love for each other is so powerful that I felt it through the pages of the book.
Preeti is just about to finish her residency and is about to become a real doctor, she should be ecstatic, yet her anxiety is high as she worries about finding a real job in medical practice. Her roommate is on her honeymoon, and Preeti knows she has to find another place to live as the newlyweds will move into her apartment when they return.
When her friend suggests she live in her apartment for a few months to give her time to search for a permanent place, Preeti is happy to put off apartment hunting for a few weeks, until she realizes she has to share the apartment with he ex-boyfriend Daniel.
First Love, Take Two is a story about love, family, loyalty, racism, second chances. Sajni Patel is a talented writer who is able to write about mental health, racism, and cultural issues, with compassion and insight. She balances these issues with a healthy dose of humor and heart. I was drawn into this story immediately and read it all in one sitting. The love between Preeti and Daniel was so real, strong, and palpable, I just couldn't wait until their HEA.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good love story. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Very mediocre. Felt little forced Indian but diaspora demands it i guess.
A cute and cosy romance to add to your TBR!
Sajni Patel is quickly becoming my new favourite author. When I finished her first book I desperately wanted Preeti’s story.
There’s a lot packed into this one but the adorable romance is still shining through! Sajni Patel always writes a letter to her readers with content warnings which I love. Her books are always filled with complex characters who have a self love journey in addition to a romantic one.
I definitely swooned over Daniel, ooh he is going on the book boyfriend list.
Tropes: second chance, one bed
I’ve realized that second chance romances might be my new thing.
Release date: September 21
