Khai Diep has no feelings. Well he can't feel big emotions like love. He thinks he's defective. His mum knows that his autism means he just processes emotions differently, and goes to Vietnam to find him a wife. As a mixed race girl living in Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place, so when the chance to travel to America to find a husband arises she jumps on it. And though she finds herself falling for the man, he says he can never return her affections. With Esme's time in the US running out, Khai is forced to learn he's been wrong and that there's more than one way to love.

I loved the story line. The book was a bit slow at parts, but I liked that the author had both characters growing throughout the novel.

I loved this and I love Helen Hoang's writing! Her characters are so authentic and well written. I loved Khai's intensity and connection with Esme.

Another gorgeous read from Helen Hoang.

She has a way of bringing her characters to life that makes the story fly by.

Watching the romance unfold between autistic Khai and the delightful Esme from Vietnam made me alternately smile and sigh.

Thoroughly enjoyed.
