Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist, on The Kiss Quotient __________________ From the bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, not big, important emotions - like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better - that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly refuses to consider a relationship, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride. As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. So when the opportunity arises to go to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down. This could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go quite as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working... but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection. As Esme's time in the United States dwindles, will Khai let his head catch up with his heart? Will he find the strength to let go, and let love in? 'Refreshingly real.' Marie Claire on The Bride Test

Este libro ha sido una experiencia totalmente agridulce. He reconocido los aspectos que más me gustaron de Helen Hoang en "La ecuación del amor" pero ha habido muchas cosas de la historia y sus personajes que no me han permitido disfrutarla del todo.La premisa es demasiado rocambolesca para mi gusto. Y a esta historia le falta comunicación de principio a fin.Otra cosa que me cayó regular fue Esme. Hay muchas cosas de su comportamiento que me chirriaron. Y muchas cosas no las pude achacar a que ella es una inmigrante que no conoce la cultura.Y para rematar, el mensaje final de "viva el American dream" y "si te esfuerzas mucho lo consigues siempre" no va para nada conmigo.
