A review by lilacsandliterature
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
3.0
The story of Stella and Michael follow a young woman with asperger’s syndrom and a male escort. Stella is trying to learn how to “be good at sex” and Michael is trying to pay the bills. It’s a typical story in that boy meets girl and they fall in love. However their circumstances are obviously quite interesting with how they meet.
I found this book overall incredibly uncomfortable. The writing was pornographic and written in such a way that it was meant to be “sexy” but didn’t work that way. It was predictable and I felt the main character Stella was being taken advantage of. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone, even a romance fan which I am not. The only redeeming part was that it was a very quick read.
