Check out the highlights on our official review of THE KISS QUOTIENT by Helen Hoang!

had me glued to the pages from start to end
There's much I like about Ms. Hoang's debut book: the racial diversity and how some cultural norms can seem so foreign and the sensitive portrayal of people with disabilities, to start with.
I also needed to mention how much the writing shone.
It was Stella Lane however, who stood out so sharply like a diamond in the dust. A true-to-the-core heroine who deals with autism and the need for structure, the difficulty with processing emotions.
I loved Stella from the start, felt and hurt for her, wished things had worked out better for her without her need for an escort's services.
I found it harder to care about Michael, the professional escort who put the word 'professional' in escorting because it was simply more profitable to turn what he'd already been doing for years into a job that also helped to pay the bills.
THE KISS QUOTIENT was more of Stella's book for me despite the obvious romance written into it. It was her story that shone, her struggles and her growth that appealed.
Stella's eventual acceptance of herself felt like the ultimate triumph that I always wanted for her.
