The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

4.25

I finally was in the right mood for this internet-favourite. And I devoured this book in two sittings. The first time before I slept and the next morning I woke up I finished the book. This is the second time I've done this two-sittings read in a month! I am on a reading streak and I am so here for it. 

WHERE DO IT BEGIN. I completely understand why everyone loves this book. The love was exploratory, obsessive, head-over-heels and the love-making was all-consuming, soft and so so tender. It was the perfect "we only have eyes for each other" trope and I was all about it. The love story between Stella and Michael and their respective insecurities and reservations were all believable. Not absurd, like a lot of the other romances I've come across.

The Kiss Quotient isn't perfect though. There were a few icks about this book. For one, how Michael referred to his past clients as "crazy" numerous times irked me every time he mentioned it.

I enjoyed this book, a lot. Maybe too much. And found myself chuckling and giggling to myself, lost in the pages. Sucked into the world of Stella and Michael. But I think if I were to judge this more critically, I'd have loved to read a more nuanced love story.
