Loved this book. Think the title was a smidge misleading but overall felt it was very informative and inspired me to learn more about the world's fair.
I was absolutely addicted to Helen Hoang's writing after reading the Kiss Quotient last year, and will continue to have no issue reading everything she writes. Saying that, I love-love-love the Bride Test! With the Kiss Quotient there was an immediate gravitation for me in connecting with Stella, she had the similar issues as myself, and without the support group I had, I could've seen myself growing up to be her, but after reading the Bride Test, my heart belongs to Khai, it was impossible to read and not fall for him, his innocence, sincerity, and intensity, was on practically every page. I really enjoyed the pacing of this book, where the Kiss Quotient was intense from page 1, the Bride Test builds throughout which I couldn't have appreciated more. Cannot wait for book 3, Quan's book, but on that same note as nice a ‘bad' guy he is, I don't think I'll ever get over my crush on Khai!
Thus one didnt pack the power that the last two had for me. The added illustrations throughout the book were delightful and I hope she continues this trend. Good job as always!
Short and sweet, provocative and poignant, brings beautiful imagery to an otherwise dark tale.
3.5 for this one. So much of this book went right over my head, but in the same instance there was so much information I found compelling. I will never not read a book by this author.
This book touched me in the most basic of human ways. Showed me that I hadn't reached my potential, and that I am capable of even more becoming. She's a blessing.
For me the book had a slow start, but I was easily hooked by the atmosphere and writing style. Enjoyed it so much I practically absorbed the last half of the book. I also feel it's a 3.5🌟 read and will clearly read this author again.
To say that I have been enlightened by this book is an understatement. Ms. Tovar is like the angel/devil on my shoulder giving me, nay granting me access to a world I never knew existed. This is a book just for ‘fat girls' this a book for women, but if you've ever struggled with defending yourself from terms like; inferiority, food shame, diet culture, fat phobia, sexism, gaslighting, or size based bigotry, than this could be good for you.
Oh the love pumped into these pages... This an adorable story packed full of comraderie and endearing moments! I cannot wair for book two that ending took my breath away. Loved!
Sweet. Everything you'd expect in a modern romance. Def recommend for a Vday read...
It's National Poetry according to all these tweets I'm seeing and I just finished reading #ToDrinkCoffeeWithAGhost it's not by chance that I'm seeing @ladybookmad everywhere. The story she tells through her series is touching and encouraging and challenges you to embrace your own pain. Kudos chica.
