From the USA Today bestselling author of "The Kiss Quotient" comes a heartwarming and romantic novel that explores the complexities of love and relationships. Meet Khai Diep, a man who believes he has no capacity for emotions like love and grief due to his autism. While he experiences some feelings like irritation and contentment, he thinks he's incapable of experiencing deeper emotions. However, his family knows that his autism simply means he processes emotions differently.
In an attempt to help Khai find love, his mother takes it upon herself to find him the perfect bride from Vietnam. Enter Esme Tran, a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City. When the opportunity arises for Esme to come to America and meet a potential husband, she seizes it, hoping it will provide her family with a better future.

In this touching and heartfelt story, Khai and Esme must navigate their differences and discover that there is more than one way to love. The novel delves into the complexities of cultural barriers, family expectations, and the universal desire for connection and understanding. It's a story about embracing love in all its forms and learning to open one's heart to the possibility of finding happiness with another person.
