This was a cute closed door, second chances, contemporary romance between young Indian woman about to finish her residency and a young black man caught between fulfilling his father's wishes and fulfilling his own.
Preeti and Daniel both end up in their friend's vacant apartment, but it's only supposed to be for a few weeks. Six years ago they were hot and heavy, until family loyalties and doubts about fitting in lead Preeti to suddenly break it off, without ever really explaining why. Now Daniel wants to know what happened, and this time together seems like the perfect time to find out.
This is technically the second book in a series, but I don't think it's necessary to read them in order. The events of the first book are briefly discussed but you are told enough to figure out who is who and how they relate to each other. I liked both Preeti and Daniel, and I enjoyed their easy way of being with each other. There also was a lot of good content about anxiety and healthy ways to deal with it, and how to navigate (or not navigate) difficult family issues.
I plan to circle back around to read the first book, and I look forward to others from this author!
