MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

When Rose enrolls in law school, little did she know how her life would change. She couldn't help but fall head over hills with a handsome guy from India. Life doesn't turn out the way she thinks it will. Two different cultures causes many struggles.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but I enjoyed this thought provoking story by Sophia Bella Roma. There is plenty of love, struggles and drama as we follow Roses's life through mixed cultures and the differences life throws are her. I love how the characters to tell the story so well. The writing was a little different style, but it sure kept my attention throughout the story. Roma adds a lot of humor, mixed in with all of the drama taking place. Though this is a quick read, I found myself going back through the story to read the highlights over again.

If you enjoy stories with couples of two different cultures, this is a great read that I recommend for you. I'm giving Mother Knows Worst Four Stars.
