The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
4.0
I absolutely loved this book!
I adored Stella and she’s become one of my favourite mc’s. It’s great to have some autistic representation within romance books.
Overall, there isn’t much plot as it’s more character driven but I still found it enjoyable.
The reason I’m only giving it 4 stars is because I really didn’t like Micheal that much. It feels like he’s written by a male author. For example, a quote from his POV:
“After she considered the list for a moment, she bent down and picked up the pen, demonstrating the only reason why a woman should wear a pencil skirt: to show off the perfectly rounded curves of her fine ass.”
Him and his cousin, Quan, have conversations a bit like this quote where they talk about women as if they’re experts; it’s a bunch of mocking and assumptions. I also just wasn’t that keen on his character as a love interest.
However, I do like the concept of this book and it was definitely a fun read.
