This book is so much more than a love story between two people from different cultures! It's about family,tradition and true lifelong friendships as well. Good read.
Just MHO...this debut novel had a bit of potential; unfortunately the author didn't pull it together effectively; so it didnt meet my expectations...and OMG talk about an overflow of errors...all I can say is I'm so glad I received it as a paperbackswap; and didn't waste my money
