Giulia is a 26-year-old unemployed young woman who grew up with the idea that family was the fulfillment of every dream. With her charming looks and sweet personality, she has always dreamed of a quiet life by the side of a man who would love her. But fate has something very different in store for her. Rocco, a 30-year-old plumber with a somewhat profligate life, is certainly not the prince charming Giulia imagined. He drinks, always has an adventure to tell, and although he can make anyone laugh with his jokes, his heart is torn between his love for the bachelor life and his inability to take his responsibilities seriously. When, after a chance encounter, the two find themselves in bed together for the first time, neither of them expects Giulia to become pregnant. From that moment on, friends nickname them "good the first," and this will mark the beginning of a new phase in both of their lives. The pregnancy incident turns into a commitment that Rocco is not ready to face, and Giulia, though happy at first, finds herself trapped in a relationship that does not give her the certainty she hoped for. Life as a young mother collides with a harsh reality, where resources are limited, money is never enough, and each day brings new difficulties. Giulia discovers that family, unfortunately, is not always the path to happiness, and that life as a couple can be a complicated maze. Meanwhile, Rocco continues to live as if nothing is wrong, mocking responsibilities, cheating on Giulia with other women, and continuing to drink to endure the monotony of daily life. But Giulia's financial problems and growing frustration reach breaking point, and the young mother, tired of sacrificing herself for a man who was never what she hoped for, decides to make a radical change in her life. *Good first take* is a story of laughter, betrayals, revelations and reflections on the life of a couple, broken dreams and the importance of taking care of oneself. A novel that explores everyday difficulties with humor, but also touches on important themes such as motherhood, independence, and the courage to change.
