pvckst 's review for:
The Kiss Quotient
by Helen Hoang
This book... I don't know where to begin. I had such high expectations for this read because of all the praise it gets online but I ended up being very disappointed. I really wanted to like it but just...couldn't.
The Kiss Quotient is a cute story with important autism representation but the author wanted to put too much stuff in this book and didn't take the time to let everything's play out in a way that feels natural. I thought the first couple of chapters were great, but after that the pace got weird, there were too many things happening and things didn't seem realistic anymore. Stella went from crying on the floor and shivering at personal contact to being mostly comfortable with Michael in what, 3 chapters?
It was too much and too little at the same time. The spice was good though, and that's what saved this book from being 1 star. I wouldn't recommend reading this one, picking up a book like The Love Hypothesis would be a better choice!
