The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
2.75
lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I really loved book one and wanted to love this but it wasn't my favorite. I would recommend for people who enjoy arranged marriage and forced proximity.

The entire first half of this book was a no for me. So many red flags in the things that were said, and the way that other people were described. And the miscommunication/lack of communication was annoying as hell. 

I love Khai but Esme 
really annoyed me. There was no valid reason for her to lie about being an accountant of keeping her daughter a secret until damn near the last chapter.
