I very rarely pick up romance books. I would much rather read science fiction, fantasy, or some none fiction. Yet, I picked up the Kiss Quotient specifically because it was an own voice book with ASD (Autism/Asperger) rep. Being on the spectrum myself, I am always on the lookout for books that normalize autism.

I enjoyed the first book in the series (The Kiss Quotient). Yet I absolutely loved The Bride Test. I saw so much growth in Hoang as a writer. She provided more character development and relied on the sex scenes less. (That may be a downside to some, but not to me.)

I completely understand that this is a romance, but I will openly admit that this book had me shed some tears. It is just that Hoang captured what it means to be autistic while trying to navigate relationships so well. In her first book, I felt like Stella had so many obstical just removed because of her family's wealth. It made it less relatable. The Bride Test felt so much more personal.

I absolutely adore and love this book!!
