First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel
3.0
I have to admit it I liked this story a lot more than the first one. The love story of Preeti and Daniel has some of the best tropes; second chance romance and forced proximity.
I loved their dynamic and the underlying tension even though the readers don’t get to see the first time they’re a romantic couple. As much as I would’ve loved to see their romance the first time around, it wasn’t hard to feel their spark as their interaction was so special compared to everyone around them. But the forced proximity trope wasn’t done just as good in my opinion.
I easily related to Preeti’s opinion about her community and the pressure of making sure that your own actions don’t lead to the downfall of your parents. Any brown kid will understand the feeling. Once again it was nice to see that the book wasn’t catered to a white audience!
