The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
4.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
I read a lot of mixed reviews about this book before reading it, but decided to read it anyway and I’m so glad I did. I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. It was a little bit of a slow start for me, but it got interesting quite quickly.
Stella Lane is an econometrician who is on the autistic spectrum. She feels pressured by her parents to find a partner and start a family, but the problem is that she’s not so skilled in the dating/sex life. Which is why she finds herself on an escorting website and hires Michael Phan, an escort who helps her tick boxes off her sex checklist and teaches her all the basics of sexual pleasure. While Stella deals with her own issues regarding being on the spectrum, Michael has his own personal issues to deal with as well, yet somehow he is exactly the man she needs in her life.
This book was amazing! I really enjoyed reading it. I was hooked from the very beginning up until the very end. The ending/last few chapters wasn’t exactly my favourite…. Which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 lol. But overall the book was a good read in my opinion!
I really enjoyed this book– a lot more than I initially thought I would. The one thing that really stood out to me that I loved the most was the autism rep, my nephew is on the spectrum and there were some similarities with how Stella acted/felt to how my nephew is as well. Helen Hoang did an amazing job portraying this into her writing and gave insight to others who may not know much about being on the spectrum.
