The Bride Test

By Helen Hoang

Book Overview

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient comes a romantic novel about love that crosses international borders and all boundaries of the heart...

Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions--like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better--that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.

As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working...but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.

With Esme's time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he's been wrong all along. And there's more than one way to love.

So cute

After reading the first book of the series. I had to pick this up. I’m so glad I did. I fell in love with all of the characters from beginning to end. Worth the read.

Helen Hoang Does It Again!

I loved this book’ I thought it was a great sequel to Kiss Quotient. This is a great addition to any romance lovers collection. The characters are so real, and Ms. Hoang is so good at making each character relatable and understandable. And I was so excited to see Michael and Stella from Kiss Quotient again!

Cute contemporary romance

I reread this specifically to find Michael and Stella mentions, but I still enjoyed the characters immensely! Reading this book has made me realize some things about my own relationship with someone on the spectrum, and I think it's a beautiful description of love in all its different forms.
