The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
3.0
I got an ARC ebook copy of The Bride Test, and I was so excited because I enjoyed The Kiss Quotient a lot last year.
I’m not truly disappointed because I found this funnier than TKQ but I didn’t enjoy the plot of The Bride Test. It started out well, I enjoyed the flow of the story until I was at least 70% in the novel. There were a couple of things I didn’t like —
1. Why was Cô so quick and trusting of Esme? They only met at a bathroom, and immediately she “hired” her. How was it that Cô didn’t do a background check on Esme, she didn’t know about Jade.
2. I would’ve wanted a bit more focus on Esme searching for her dad, it was a nice touch (Khâi’s effort) towards the end, but I wish I was able to read more of her searching for her dad.
There are a few more but I can’t exactly specify/pinpoint it (probably because lately I’ve been writing my reviews super late at night), I just know I didn’t exactly enjoy this book as much as I did TKQ. Nonetheless, I will still recommend this book and I will definitely read more of Hoang’s works!
