First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel
2.5
medium-paced

This was fine; I didn't love the characters, but I didn't hate them. It seemed like a lot of the issues between Preeti and Daniel wouldn't have been as big of a deal as they made it, and I didn't really believe that they would've not talked for 6 years.

I did appreciate the confronting of racism against Black people in anothet BIPOC group (Desi/Indian)-- that felt real.

Overall, I felt this book was just fine, but not great. I dragged on enthusiasm about reading it after maybe a third because it felt like nothing was happening; time was passing without anytl progression of the story. 2.5 stars.
