the kiss quotient by helen hoang

This book took me almost forever to finish.

There was nothing wrong with the book at all. I read the Bride Test by Helen Hoang before this and The Kiss Quotient was just as cute and adorable just like her second book. It’s just I’ve been having the biggest reading slump and it’s been hard to really get into reading lately but I really wanted to finish this book even if it meant reading a page a day but I’m so glad I finally finished because the book was just everything.

I’m going to keep this review short, sweet, and to the point just like this book.

To summarize this book, this book was about this woman, Stella, who’s an autistic and wants to know how to please a man before she gets into another relationship so she hires an escort, Michael, to teach her the basics and then we go from there.

I appreciate books with POV from both the love interests in books because I like to see both sides of the story and and I admire Stella so much. Especially towards the end when she didn’t want to be pitied from Michael or anyone for her disability and then I love the fact that Michael still cares for her genuinely anyway.

The part I love the most in this book when you know there’s a conflict between the two love interests that drive them apart and *minor spoiler* Michael of course doesn’t think he’s good enough for her and I love how his mom tells him if he thinks that then leave her alone and don’t bother her and that scene just hit me and just the whole reality check for Michael was honestly one of my favorite parts because most of the book he’s always complaining about his life and I’m so glad that eventually changes.

Overall this book was absolutely adorable and I loved Stella so so much. I would recommend this to anyone if you need a quick and cute contemporary read. Even her author’s note at the end was touching!

I rate this book four and a half stars!

Thanks for reading! 💛

A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there’s not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.

It doesn’t help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can’t afford to turn down Stella’s offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position…

Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he’s making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic…
