jayati 's review for:
First Love, Take Two
by Sajni Patel
A heartwarming second chance romance that deals with racism, mental health and the stigma around it in desi communities, First Love, Take Two is the story of Daniel and Preeti, two ex lovers who're seeing each other again for the first time in 6 years and find that the spark that existed between them is still there.
I loved the tension between the characters as they see each other again after so long and try to deal with all the emotions that it brings up. Their break up was quite abrupt and a lot was left unexplained and I enjoyed seeing how that played into their current relationship.
The romance was also pretty sweet. There was an obvious connection between the characters and I loved reading about them!
However, I would've wanted some more of the romance and to understand more about why Preeti couldn't move on even 6 years later? It was cute, yes! But I think a bit more would've helped me understand the characters more and in doing so, love the book even more!
I really loved the plot and the pacing of the book. There were a lot of important topics discussed in this book and I loved how they were handled. There was a justifiable reason for the break up which didn't make me hate one person and we can see how the characters have grown in the 6 years and are dealing with issues that had ended up separating them back then.
I love seeing character growth and this is no exception. Even in the duration of the book, we can see how Preeti learns to stand up for herself and those she loves and do what is best for her and get what she wants. She is the kind of desi role model I wish to have and reading about her journey was a great experience!
Overall, this was an enjoyable book which talks about some important topics and I recommend it!
