First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel

5.0

The blurb for this book reeled me in, but I was absolutely floored by the story. Being in a mixed-race marriage with an Indian myself, this book hit home....big time. My husband's family may not have been active in the community but the author did such a great job of calling out the racism and how hard it was for Preeti to live with the guilt of what she had supposedly done. We all suffer with being "perfect" in the eyes of our families and communities at some point and time in our lives and following Preeti and Daniel as they navigate their own landmines was heartbreaking but also a celebration. I'm glad Preeti figured out what the path to her happiness, vile, nosy, busybody relatives be damned. Such a great book and one I highly recommend to anyone.
