Review: The Bride Test

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars!
Such a captivating and riveting novel! Both main characters are flawed but wonderful and the author does a fantastic job walking us through the reasoning behind each action and decision they made, so we can understand where they are coming from and where they are headed.
My is determined to have a better life for her and her family and to escape from poverty and circumstances that she'd do almost anything to achieve it.
Khai is determined not to let anyone close for fear of hurting them.
When pushed together, it's a back and forth of angst and want; it's one step forward and two steps behind, it's them talking and communicating, even though it's a patchwork of words and feelings.
I enjoyed both of them and the story of how they fall in love slowly and the thoroughness the author puts into giving us this story.
