This is the second book by Sajni Patel that I have read. First Love, Take Two can be read as a standalone, but there are some characters that were first seen in The Trouble with Hating You. I enjoy Sajni’s writing. Her characters are relatable, a little snarky, and grow a lot through the book. In First Love, Take Two, the main characters are exes who agree to live together for a short period of time while each is in the process of moving. It could be considered a rom-com, but the book tackles serious issues that people face today including interracial relationships, family expectations, and mental health. I highly recommend this book. I laughed out loud and cried with the characters anguish.
