The Bride Test

ljudbok


Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but he doesn’t experience big, important emotions like love and grief. Rather than believing he processes emotions differently due to being autistic, he concludes that he’s defective and decides to avoid romantic relationships. So his mother, driven to desperation, takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect mail-order 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 to marry an American arises, she leaps at it, thinking that it 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 believes he can never return her affection. Esme must convince Khai that there is more than one way to love. And Khai must figure out the inner workings of his heart before Esme goes home and is an ocean away.

LÀtt att komma in i, introt för bÄda karaktÀrerna var vÀldigt bra och sjÀlva ploten kÀnns intressant. Men den kvinnliga karaktÀren kÀnns alldeles för stereotypisk. För mig kÀnns det helt ologiskt varför hon blir kÀr i honom nÀr han beter sig som en idiot. MÄnga andra ologiska val och resonemang genom boken. Mycket bra upplÀst.
