Goodread's Big Books of Spring 2019 - Romance 'Such a fun read... Original and sexy and
sensitive.' Roxane Gay author of Bad Feminist on The Kiss Quotient __________________ From
the bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient Khai Diep has no feelings. Well not big
important emotions - like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better -
that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly refuses to
consider a relationship his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to
find him the perfect bride. As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City Esme
Tran has always felt out of place. So when the opportunity arises to go to America and meet a
potential husband she can't turn it down. This could be the break her family needs. Seducing
Khai however doesn't go quite as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working... but
only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her
affection. As Esme's time in the United States dwindles will Khai let his head catch up with
his heart? Will he find the strength to let go and let love in? 'Refreshingly real.' Marie
Claire on The Bride Test
