The Bride Test

THE WAY I DEVOURED THIS BOOK 😍❤️🙌🏼🎉

From start to finish this book was addicting!!!

Khai is soooooo “heck no” about being set up with Mÿ

Mÿ is determined to find a way to make it work

Ohhhh how complicated it gets 🫠

Dude is OB👏🏼SESSED👏🏼 but, due to his past trauma and autism…he feels he can’t be and you can’t help but feels so sad for him emotionally!

Helen Hoang did such an incredible job. She really makes you feel the emotional turmoil that the characters are experiencing!

Incredible heartfelt story with excellent character development and endearing side characters

Highly recommend

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars Khai doesn’t think he can love, not after losing his best friend and not with the way autism shapes how he feels and processes emotion. Enter Esme, a hotel cleaner from Vietnam with a secret past, a bold dream, and a heart full of hope. Their relationship is messy, sweet, and
