The Art of Taking Second Chances

NOTE: This book was an Advanced Copy Review (ARC) on Reedsy Discovery.

Tara Kadam has worked hard to be an art appraiser as well as still aspiring to be an artist. When one of her paintings is purchased by an anonymous buyer, Tara must know who it is, but who she doesn’t expect to run into is her ex, Sameer Rehani. What should have been a one and done run-in turns into multiple run-ins with him and what she thought was in the past comes bubbling back up to the surface. Both Tara and Sameer still have feelings for each other but they’re not kids in love in college anymore. Sameer left without a word, breaking Tara’s heart and now Sameer has to find a way to win Tara back while dealing and healing from his own problems. Will these two lovers take this second chance or will their love remain in the past? 

The Art of Taking Second Changes is a realistic view of what lovers reuniting looks like. Sameer intentionally seeks out Tara through the purchase of one of her paintings and their reunion isn’t all sunshine and roses but it’s not all animosity either. Tara is still hurt and does lash out but Sameer also lashes out, when pushed, yet tries to be patient and understanding as well of Tara as well. It doesn’t read a miscommunication that is only now discovered years later. Sameer did hurt Tara, but he had his own issues he was dealing with and the two will have to work through if either expects to heal from the past.
