The bride test (The Kiss Quotient # 2) av Helen Hoang

 

From the bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient, Goodread's Romance Book of the Year, 2018. Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but 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 avoids relationships, 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. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go 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.With Esme's time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he's been wrong all along. And accept that there's more than one way to love.

Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Adlibris.

Jag läste Kyssfaktorn av författaren för något år sen, men sen verkar det inte som hennes andra romance-böcker inom samma familj inte verkar bli översatta till svenska så valde att läsa denna del på engelska.

Sen är det en fin kärlekshistoria om Esme, som har sina problem med en fattig uppväxt och som ensamstående mamma i Vietnamn, och Khai som är en ung autistisk man som behöver förstå sina emotionella känslor för just Esme, och lite annorlunda med just den aspekten där ena parten har en diagnos som i sig kan ställa till det för kärleks-paret.
