The Kiss Quotient

Helen Hoang

3.88 AVERAGE


This was a fantastic book. While it is extremely sexual, it does not necessarily look like something NSFW, so that's a nice feature. I appreciated the diverse depictions within the novel that defy tropes and are extremely authentic. It definitely left me bereft for a few days after finishing!

Overall this was…cute. Had some issues, but I didn’t hate it.

I was just *sighs* disappointed.

3.5*

Really enjoyed the autistic character portrayal. The very extreme depiction of autism, typical of romance drama, caught me by surprise with it's sincerity & had me tearing up. Same for the other 2 books in the series, which all depicted different extreme versions of autistic traits & over-the-top romance scenes that still somehow managed to break my heart.

Such a cute book that appropriately integrates neurodiversity within the scope of this genre. Both Stella & Michael are such likeable characters and this is just a fun, light, somewhat cheesy romance that I have devoured in 1/2 sittings every time I read!

I read this as a palette cleanser since “Tampa” really just was A Lot, and I had a great time!! This book is extremely horny, fellas, so keep that in mind if you jump in ;). But on a real note, it was sooo freaking cool to read a love story with an autistic main character!!! I love hearing love stories that diverge from Hollywood™’s cookie cutter vision, and after learning that author Hoang, herself, is also autistic and learned a lot about herself while writing, I really just couldn’t be more stoked about these characters and this series. Can’t wait to read the rest. I will need to wait, though, because the (stupid) hopeless romantic in me wants to perform a satanic ritual to ensure everyone can find a love like this. And that seems a bit much, right?
