4.0
4 ⭐️ - This book was much more enjoyable than the second in the series. I think that’s because we knew a little bit more about the MMC, Quan, than we did in The Bride Test (MMC Khai).
I will say that I’m glad this series is complete. It started to get very repetitive. Neurotypical person falls for a neurodivergent/ASD person (this family has a knack for finding neurodivergent people in the wild). And every single one of the books had a “miscommunication trope” leading up to the climax - which is frustrating.
I really like the MMC Quan. I’ve actually grown a little attached to him. A bad boy exterior with a bit of a gray past, who is actually just a teddy bear. It’s very endearing, and he’s definitely my type.
FMC Anna is also very likeable. She is the neurodivergent person in the relationship, and (once again) her inner monologue is very relatable to myself (a suspected neurodivergent).
Overall, I’d give the whole series 3.75 stars. Definitely a quick, fun little summery romance series that I finished in about a week.

While this was enjoyable while reading, I did find some of the main characters’ people pleasing very extreme and hard to believe. Generally this was a light read that didn’t connect with me so will fade with time.
