內容簡介

Khai Diep沒有任何情緒,喔,不過要是有人動了他的東西會很不爽,對帳發現錢不多不少就會很開心,除此之外,他沒有太多的情緒,類似像悲傷、愛這種情緒,他壓根沒有。

Khai覺得自己是有缺陷的,幸好他的家人懂得更多,了解他只不過是處理情緒的方式不同,Diep刻意避開任何關係,他的母親就把責任攔到自己身上,回到越南去幫他找一個完美的老婆。

住在胡志明市的混血女孩Esme Tran,始終覺得和周遭格格不入,當出現了一個可以離開越南到美國和可能的未來丈夫見面的機會,當然就不能錯過,只不過和Khai的相處卻不如想像中順利。

這場愛的大冒險似乎只在Esme身上進行著,她每天想著這個絕對不可能愛上自己的男人;Khai則是發現了自己一直以來都錯了,愛的表現不只有一種方式。

'Such a fun read... Original and sexy and sensitive.' Roxane Gay, on The Kiss Quotient

'Refreshingly real.' Marie Claire for The Bride Test

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?
