First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel
5.0

This book was EVERYTHING!!!!

It had everything I want in a closed door romance, for a second chance romance, and a bi-racial romance. It was everything everything everything. I couldn't put this book down, I tried to put it aside all of 2 seconds to at least do some kind of work today, but alas, this masterpiece of a book made me want to read it again and again, so I finished it in a day, obviously.

I adore this story, and I think it's because I can connect to it so darn well. Growing up in Canada, you see all kinds of people, meet all kinds of people from different culture, maybe even meet someone you fall in love with that isn't from where you and your family are from. Now, in my culture, it's known for us to want to be with someone who is of the same culture, same language and so on. Arranged marriages are a popular thing in the Middle East so it's not the most surprising thing to me if someone we know has an arranged marriage. Being born in Canada though, my parents have acknowledged that I may find someone from another culture and that's ok as long as I'm happy. I just want to acknowledge how much this book hit home for me, all the feelings and the thoughts that go into a relationship like this and how hard it can feel sometimes.

Sajni Patel did the greatest job with this book, I loved every second of it, Daniel is the best book boyfriend ever, you guys should read this for sure!

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Pub for the earc in return for an honest review.
