First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel

3.0

---

Preeti Patel is on track for getting her life in order. She's finishing up her final months of residency, looking for a job, and on the verge of announcing an arranged engagement to a man who checks all her family's boxes. But Preeti's anxiety has never been worse and she can't bear to be touched by the man she's supposed to spend the rest of her life with. And her most pressing problem is that her living arrangements have fallen through and she has days to find somewhere else to live or else she will have to move back in with her parents.

So when a friend who moved out of town offers up her old apartment as a stop-gap for a couple months. One small problem. The same friend also offered up the apartment to another friend, Preeti's ex-boyfriend Daniel, who Preeti never got over, the boyfriend who would never be accepted by her community and whose family would never accept her.

This book was so fun and had so much to love! The one who got away, family conflict, social conflict, frank discussion about mental health. I received the audiobook version of this book and the narrator was engaging. I definitely recommend this book.
