Khai Diep, who has autism, believes that he’s incapable of experiencing love or grief the way others do. His family, however, thinks differently. When his mother travels to Vietnam and arranges for Esme Tran, a mixed-race woman from a poor background, to come to America as a potential bride for Khai, everything changes. Through their evolving relationship, The Bride Test tells a touching story of family, identity, acceptance, and the complexities of love.

Description

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?
