I’ll be frank that this book was a slight disappointment. With Esme’s time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he’s been wrong all along. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.

Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go as planned. 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. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.Īs a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. His family knows better-that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. 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. A huge thank you to Allen & Unwin Australia for kindly me sending a review copy at my request in exchange for an honest review. After her first book being such a stellar, it was no surprise that I’d want to read the sequel. It was a pretty big surprise to me when I found out that one of the protagonists of this book was a side character of Helen Hoang’s debut that I absolutely LOVE called The Kiss Quotient ( my review for that is here).
