The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
5.0
I loved this book. Not as much as The Kiss Quotient though.
Helen Hoang just writes the most endearing, humbling, beautifully different characters. I loved reading about Khai and Esme. Reading their story gives you that goofy grin at times. You also get a little misty eyed too. I genuinely chuckled at Khai & Esme’s first time. It was refreshing to read Khai, Quan & Michael talk about sex in a non-degrading, non-misogynistic way.
The ending (about the last 20 pages) unfortunately does the story a huge disservice. It was too quick and tied everything up too perfectly. It was just very rushed and cookie cutter when the whole other 98% of the book is not like that.
