Description
On the verge of realizing her dream of being a doctor, Preeti Patel should be ecstatic. But between the stress of her residency, trying to find a job, and managing her traditional, no-boundaries family, Preeti's anxiety is through the roof. Relationships and love aren't even an option. Fortunately, Preeti's finally found a new place to stay . . . only to discover that her new roommate is her ex.
Preeti never quite got over Daniel Thompson. Super-hot, plenty of swagger, amazing cook—the guy is practically perfect. And if it weren't for their families, there might have been a happily ever after. But it's hard to keep her sanity and libido in check when the man of her dreams is sleeping mere feet away. Can Preeti and Daniel find a way to stand up and fight for each other one last time . . . before they lose their second chance?

      • bioText: Award-winning author Sajni Patel was born in vibrant India and raised in the heart of Texas. She draws on personal experiences, cultural expectations, and Southern flair to create worlds centered around strong Indian women. Once in MMA, she's now all about puppies, rainbows, and tortured love stories. She divides her time between Hawai'i (where honu is her #1 obsession) and Austin (where she not-so-secretly watches Matthew McConaughey from afar during UT football games). Queso is her weakness and thanks to her family's cooking, Indian/Tex-Mex cuisine is a real thing. She's a die-hard Marvel Comics fan, an ube fanatic, and is always wrapped up in a story.

        Preeti Patel needs a job, a husband, and a new apartment. The problem? Her residency is giving her anxiety, she doesn't love her boyfriend (let alone want to marry him), and her only viable roommate is Daniel Thompson, a close friend's gorgeous brother who also happens to be her ex. Patel peppers the novel with thoughtful instances of anxiety, racism, and conflict between traditional and modern values, but the lack of chemistry between the two love interests and some unneeded drama dominate the reading experience. VERDICT Patel's formulaic companion to The Trouble with Hating You leans too hard on tropes, though it's recommended for readers who enjoyed the first book and want an HEA that wraps up conflict.--Rachel Alexander, Peabody Inst.

        A doctor is forced to reexamine her own hurts when she gets a second chance at a relationship with the love of her life. Houston-based doctor Preeti Patel is juggling multiple anxieties: Not only does she need to find a new apartment, but she's in the middle of hunting for a permanent position as a medical resident. She locates a place where she can stay until she gets a job, but she has to share it with her ex-boyfriend Daniel Thompson for a few weeks. Preeti has been assiduously avoiding Daniel since she broke up with him six years ago without giving a reason. But while living in close quarters with Daniel, she's forced to accept her feelings for him and finds herself compelled to reevaluate her priorities and give him honest answers about their past. Preeti's struggles with anxiety are illustrated in graphic detail, but the dynamics of her relationship with Daniel, which hinges more on the memories of a previous connection than on any significant development in the present, remain less well developed. Preeti's interactions with her friends and family are occasionally fun and heartwarming, and the characters' penchant for long emotional monologues are reminiscent of melodramatic Bollywood films. But author Patel is sharply insightful when she hints at the complex links among religion, roots, and community in the Hindu Indian diaspora and exposes the fault lines in several of these communities, particularly the deeply entrenched racism and sexism that sometimes fracture them. An uncomplicated and often one-note romance uplifted by evocative descriptions of its social and cultural setting.

        Patel follows up her dazzling debut, The Trouble with Hating You (2020), with a deeply romantic contemporary tale set in the same circle of friends. Preeti Patel is an Indian American chief medical resident working every hour she can as she struggles to find a position in family practice. Six years ago, she'd run out on the love of her life, Daniel Thompson, due to the racism and colorism expressed by her parents and community towards Daniel, who is Black, as well as disdain for her middle-class roots from Daniel's wealthy father, all of which undermined her sense of self-worth. Daniel was devastated. Circumstances have now put both of them in the same apartment as roommates, but their desire to please their parents is keeping them apart. Preeti's mental health is depicted with great sensitivity. Only Daniel can prevent her from spiraling, and only with each other can they find succor. The heart of the story is how they stand up to their parents and fight for the right to love each other. An excellent recommendation for fans of Farah Heron's romances.
