A review by laura_corsi
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

3.0

A good book but the story was uneven somehow. My sense of Esme and Kai was a little disjointed. I found part of the time I wasn't sure if I liked Esme and felt frustrated at how she refused to talk about her feelings or situation with Khai. However, whenever he did not communicate with her she would get so angry with him because of her insecurities about her self-worth. I like that it was an immigrant story but did feel that it made everything come out a little too easily. I don't think most immigrant stories are so fairy tale-esque. Maybe that is okay though. Maybe all immigrants need a little fairy tale in their life...
