Oh,how I loved this book!



View all my reviews
I have read a lot of okay books lately. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes I want a book that I can't put down and this one did the trick. For some reason I love books that are written in verse and two voices and teen angst, I was not disappointed.

It is hard enough that this young girl must wear a sari to school sometimes, but her other choice includes clothes from the 80's-that can't be good. Her mother is so homesick for India and her family that she commits suicide. Now her father takes her to India to marry her off but war breaks out when Gandhi is assassinated. She is separated from her father and wonders India until she is saved by a knight in shining armor with big ears.

I love that the ending is realistic allowing me to come up with my own happily ever after.
