chandasolara 's review for:
The Kiss Quotient
by Helen Hoang
I have been on a romance kick recently (which is clear if you take a look at my history), and I'm not 100% sure why, but this one wasn't my favorite.
Holy sex, Batman. I'm not sure why I didn't expect that considering it's a giant part of the plot, but it threw me off. I think maybe because the progression of it just didn't feel... genuine? Like Stella went from I don't know, it felt almost like she was sexed out of major characteristics that define who she is as a person. I can't exactly put my fingers on why it felt that way other than that it just didn't feel in line with Stella as a character.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the characters, especially as we witnessed their growth throughout the story. The supporting characters were dynamic and funny, and I'm such a sucker for the "everyone knows they're in love with each other except the main characters" trope. Probably wouldn't reread, but I'm gonna try the Hoang's other works because I did enjoy her writing style.
