A review by lorela
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

5.0

Thank you to Helen Hoang for writing the book that engaged me like no book has for quite a while. After a long period of just not enjoying reading or listening to books, forcing myself to finish, often listening at an increased speed just to get through them I have finally listened to a book I truly loved. I laughed and cried and really felt for the characters.
Though anyone looking for a romance would love this book, being or knowing someone neurodivergent will really connect the main male character and if you don't it might help you understand someone who is.
As someone who lives in an area of the country with a large Southeast Asian population and has listened to and learned many of their stories on how they came to America Esme's story really touched me.
I so look forward to reading the other books by this author.
