The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

Sometimes you just have to give up. When a book starts out with promise, and you keep holding out for things to get better but they don't...... well then it's time to move on to a better things. It's rare that I don't finish a book, but this one just didn't work for me. It was way too predictable and the characters were all stereotypes. You knew that all the country boys from Texas would be racist and would bully the main character, a young man from India studying to be a doctor. And that young Indian woman who had an arranged marriage? It was easy to see where that was going when her new family treated her like a slave. So it's off my Kindle and I'm on to the next book. -June
