This book, like it's predecessor The Kiss Quotient, is a cute one. There isn't much depth to the story , but it is definitely an enjoyable read. It was endearing how Khai and Esme grew into a real relationship with each other. With him being autistic and her being an immigrant, they both needed time and effort to find their way. It was the sweetest part of the story.
I would recommend it to readers who enjoy a sweet romances with a touch of steam. ...more

The Bride Test was a delight! I went in to this novel with high expectations, having been a huge fan of Hoang's previous book, The Kiss Quotient. She absolutely delivered again!
This story is told in alternating POV between Khai and My/Esme. Khai is a man who is convinced that, due to having an ASD diagnosis, he does not have the capacity to love. He buries himself in work and physical fitness, and tells himself that this makes for a wholly satisfactory life. My is working in hotel housekeeping i ...more

I loved Khai! One of the things I really enjoyed about this one was the family dynamic which is something I also really loved in The Kiss Quotient.

He thinks that he doesn’t feel love or how to express emotions but he slowly begins to comprehend that he feels very deeply. Esme also had a lot of growth in the book and I loved

The Bride Test rating: 😍
Back before my blogging days — YES, it existed — I picked up The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang and fell absolutely in love. So in love, I devoured it in one plane ride.
The Bride Test is no exception!
So lately I’ve decided that my problem is back covers. If you’re having the same problem as me, IGNORE IT. I endlessly picked up this book just to put it back down and now I’m HITTING MYSELF that I was so stupid to do such a thing.

Loved this book. It was so sweet and gave me all the feels!! I love that the characters are not run of the mill leading characters. They had their faults but were realistic. Can't reccomend this one enough for all the romance lovers out there.
