I’m rounding up to five stars because this deals with some great issues that need to be discussed - racism and the stigma we place on mental health. All seriousness aside this was a good read. I don’t think Pree and I would be friends in real like, but those that are her friends she is loyal. Daniel is too perfect to be real. However, what I love about the characters is that they compliment each other - not exactly ying/yang, but one’s strength is the others weakness. There is also growth. Yes, this is a romance, but it is more than that.

If I'm reading second chance romance, I expect angst which I didn't think we got enough of. Also their issues resolved a little too easily. I preferred 'The trouble with hating you' A LOT more.
The Trouble with Hating You was one of my favorites from 2020, so I was super excited to see the girls back in First Love, Take Two.
This time though, we learn the backstory of Preeti and her ex-First Love, Daniel. Sajni Patel’s development of these characters goes above and beyond your typical Contemporary Romance novel. The depth of these two makes you instantly fall in love with Daniel, and feel the torment Preeti must have felt six years ago when she walked away from him. Sanji’s writing is full of wit, humor, slow burn, and compassion.
I loved that the author touched upon subjects that weren’t easy - mental health, family relations, racism. Sajni takes you into the Indian community - which quite honestly, isn’t all that different from my own.
I’m hoping this series continues so we can learn more about the rest of the girl pack. Everyone needs friends like these in their lives.
