The Kiss Quotient

Helen Hoang

3.88 AVERAGE



3.5⭐️
•When you read the back of the book you expect the sex scenes to be incredible.
They weren’t.
I am not into fluffy romance,but I wish this book was fluffy and not filled with Michael’s thoughts of touching Stella.

•When the “bad guy” does a bad thing it’s disgusting,horrible,unacceptable,but when the love interest(Michael) does then it’s perfectly fine.
*SPOILER*
~Philip kisses Stella against her will and after one chapter Michael does the same thing~


•Michael is filled with muscles,plays with swords in his spare time but he can’t push away a woman that kisses him.

However,the reason why I gave this book 3.5/5⭐️ was Stella(5/5⭐️ character ),Michael’s family(the language barrier,the traditional food etc) and the fact that Azila was Philip’s mom.

Dus. Laten we meteen de olifant in de kamer even adresseren: ja, dit is een ontzettend voorspelbaar boek. Je leest de korte inhoud en je denkt: "wel, ik weet al hoe dit gaat eindigen" en zo eindigt het ook. Spoiler alert en al. En toch kon me dat bijzonder weinig schelen. Ik heb genoten van dit boek. Met volle teugen.

Stella en Michael zijn twee complexere personages dan dat ze op het eerste zicht lijken. Ze zijn met meer bezig dan enkel en alleen hun relatie. Dat maakte alles wat menselijker en zorgde dat je veel meer met hen meeleefde. Op het einde van het boek las ik dat de schrijfster van het boek zelf ook op het spectrum zit, wat het natuurlijk nog interessanter maakte en wat er waarschijnlijk voor gezorgd dat Stella niet als een karikatuur overkomt.

En hey, ik heb nog eens een boek op minder dan een week uitgelezen. Met dank aan Het Meneertje dat nu in z'n eigen kamertje slaapt, zodat ik terug voor het slapengaan kan lezen. Hoera!

I really liked the autism rep, the relationship, and the characters of Stella and Michael.
This could’ve been a five-star read if not for the third act breakup.

[4.5/5]

THIS WAS SO CUTE !!! i literally read it in one day because i could not get enough of stella and michael, who just joined the list of my favorite couples of all time btw !!!

it was so interesting seeing the portrayal of an autistic character by an autistic author, i learned a lot !

the only reason this isn’t a full 5 stars is one sentence in particular that bothered me, i think other reviewers have mentioned it already : it’s when michael says he wants to seduce the anxiety out of stella, or something like that ?! i mean granted, at that point he didn’t know she was autistic yet, but as someone with anxiety it really didn’t sit right with me haha

but other than that, i loved reading this book and i will definitely be checking out the bride test & the heart principle !

I was recommended this book after a heavy and dramatic read. She said it was funny, light, and hot. And she was so right... I was obsessed with this book! It had everything I want in a book: hot hero, steamy scenes, a flawed but perfect heroine. So many funny parts to this book that were laugh-out-loud.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
