The Culture Club First, Issa Mazumder"s nerdy boyfriend dumps her for popular Latina princess Cat Morena—as if Cat even likes him. She just hates Issa. And for good reason: Issa finds out that her mother not only has been dating Cat"s dad, but is going to marry him. That means they"re moving into Cat"s huge house. And not only is Issa"s stepsister-to-be a total beyotch, she has no respect for Issa"s Indian and African-American heritage. But Issa gets some tough advice: if she wants Cat Morena to welcome her traditions, Issa had better learn how to salsa in a sari.
