First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel

4.0

---

This was a sweet, yet slightly steamy, second-chance romance story.  The characters were well developed and likeable and the story was entertaining. I appreciated that there was a discussion of anxiety and touch aversion in the book which helps to normalize this disorder. The discussion of the culture and family issues that often face the first generation born in a new country was interesting and reflective of what I’ve heard from others in this community.

What was most enjoyable about this book was the fierceness of Preeti’s love for Daniel.  Six years after their breakup, and with much more life experience, Preeti now shows the confidence she needs to fight for her man. Who doesn’t love a strong female character?

I listened to the audiobook version of First Love Take Two which was narrated by Soneela Nankani.  She provides an enthusiastic and authentic performance which was a pleasure to listen to.  I would not hesitate to recommend this version of the book for those that appreciate this format.
