Summary

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 crave all of the other things he's making her feel。 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。。。

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。

no complaints here, this was super cute and was representation in the best way, it didn't feel performative and was just a genuine, smiley love story no complaints here, this was super cute and was representation in the best way, it didn't feel performative and was just a genuine, smiley love story 。。。more

Great book! I find it a pretty reasonable representation of autistic relationships。

Things I loved about The Kiss Quotient- Autism rep- Asian rep- Male sex worker repThings I didn't like:First of all I want to say I usually stay away from bookstagram popular contemporary romance books because on numerous occasions they have let me down。 I see people gush about a book, I pick it up, read it and then wonder if everyone can see how painfully cliche and boring it is or they're purposely ignoring it because of the smut and over-protective hot male character。 Stella is autistic and h Things I loved about The Kiss Quotient- Autism rep- Asian rep- Male sex worker repThings I didn't like:First of all I want to say I usually stay away from bookstagram popular contemporary romance books because on numerous occasions they have let me down。 I see people gush about a book, I pick it up, read it and then wonder if everyone can see how painfully cliche and boring it is or they're purposely ignoring it because of the smut and over-protective hot male character。 Stella is autistic and has had three bad sexual encounters where she just lays in bed and does nothing。 She hates touches and wants to learn how to be good in bed, she hires a male escort- Michael。 I absolutely loved the sex worker rep in this book but the way it's so unrealistic makes me laugh。 Michael meets Stella and suddenly it's "she's different from my other clients and now I'm in love with her" ON THE FUCKING FIRST MEET UP????? Haha。 To be honest? I couldn't help but feel weirdly about this。 Michael who has had sex with a billion women is turned on by the innocence and inexperience of Stella? (Also kept saying she's different from his other clients, you mean women who are sexually open and aren't awkward and shy about it?) I can't with the double standard。The Insta love was not it。 It felt sooo fast, now now they've fallen in love? Come on。 Also did not like the miscommunication in the book, apparently they could fuck a lot but not talk to eachother about what was really going on? Also let's talk about how Michael seem to fuck the autism out of Stella。 Does it happen like that? Do you suddenly lose your anxieties and routine because of someone whose touch you can tolerate?Bruh I'm not even talking again。 Your fav romance is not that good and tbh y'all only like it cos Michael is hot and the smut is spicy。 I said what I said。 。。。more

This is my absolute favorite book

5 stars。 Oh my, I just loved this book。 Right from the beginning to the very last page everything about the book was wonderful。 I loved Stella and I loved Michael and I defiantly loved them together。 Can not wait to continue reading this series。 What a refreshing love story with a good amount of heat thrown in。 Loved, loved!

when I read the first few chapters of this book, all my mind could say about it was 'this came straight out of a porno' because like !!!!????? this was again a one time read for me and yes sometimes I was frustrated how there was so much miscommunication but okay maybe the autism compensated for it somewhat?anyways I read the first half then I got bored and read the second half after a few weeks so I don't have much say but I was very satisfied with the ending (who wasn't??) and there were some when I read the first few chapters of this book, all my mind could say about it was 'this came straight out of a porno' because like !!!!????? this was again a one time read for me and yes sometimes I was frustrated how there was so much miscommunication but okay maybe the autism compensated for it somewhat?anyways I read the first half then I got bored and read the second half after a few weeks so I don't have much say but I was very satisfied with the ending (who wasn't??) and there were some extremely heartwarming moments which made me smile (the boxers one for eg) and yes it was a cute and nice read so 3 。5 stars ill say。 “Palm to palm, two lonely halves found comfort together。”spoiler below but a very heartwarming para ill remember from this book (and i think the only)“Are you wearing the underwear I got you?”Laughter cracked out of him。 “Sometimes, the way your mind works is a complete mystery to me。”"Women buy underwear for the men they love。 It’s economics。 Data supports this claim。”“Are you telling me you love me, Stella?” (i just loved the storyline about the boxers it will stick with me) 。。。more

I thought I hated romance until I read this book。 I literally could not stop reading everything about the story and the characters kept me going。

😐 I thought we were done with twilight fanfics (and what could be a twilight fanfic) turning into books。 Seriously。But hey, if you are fan of ~sexy~ predictable stories and want an easy read - go for it。

Je suis tombée amoureuse des personnages, Michael et Stella。 J'ai adoré voir comment Stella avançait à travers les difficultés de vivre dans un monde pas forcément adapté à soi。 Soi dans l'essence de qui tu es。 J'adore lire sur les personnes autistes car je trouve qu'on a tant à apprendre d'eux, et que je me retrouve beaucoup dans certaines de leurs particularités。 (La difficulté d’accepter que les gens nous touche, le parfum, prévoir les discussions avant de les avoir etc) Et Michael。。。 telleme Je suis tombée amoureuse des personnages, Michael et Stella。 J'ai adoré voir comment Stella avançait à travers les difficultés de vivre dans un monde pas forcément adapté à soi。 Soi dans l'essence de qui tu es。 J'adore lire sur les personnes autistes car je trouve qu'on a tant à apprendre d'eux, et que je me retrouve beaucoup dans certaines de leurs particularités。 (La difficulté d’accepter que les gens nous touche, le parfum, prévoir les discussions avant de les avoir etc) Et Michael。。。 tellement attendrissant, doux, compréhensif et patient。 Vraiment j'étais in love。 Elle qui lui paye, qui a son flooz, sa vie。。。 Leur histoire m 'a de nouveau rappelé un de mes Wattpad préféré : The Quinty Tale of April Hale。 Bref une romance dans toute sa splendeur avec du gros love 。。。more

i LOVED。 but can michael shut up ab his dad for like 2 seconds, genuinely no one cared

Laura

Woaw je sais pas quoi dire。 Franchement je veux un Michael dans ma vie ! Leur histoire est incroyable。

Ale with books

Michael you got me。 The story was so original, I’m in love with the characters, I love Stella with all my heart, she’s so brave and smart。 I cried because of the beauty of their relationship。 I loved the characters development。 I love his family and her mom。 Top 10 books of course

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Honestly it started off a bit rocky。 I wasn't a huge fan of some of how the mother acted at the start。 And though it's a great representation of Asperge's, there were few too many awkward steam scenes in the beginning。 Those scenes made it hard for me to read at a continuous pace。After the awkward part of the book, I found Stella to be more likeable。For me it was that one book that you kinda want to push through to see if it gets good and by mid way it did。 And once Stella gets comfortable with Honestly it started off a bit rocky。 I wasn't a huge fan of some of how the mother acted at the start。 And though it's a great representation of Asperge's, there were few too many awkward steam scenes in the beginning。 Those scenes made it hard for me to read at a continuous pace。After the awkward part of the book, I found Stella to be more likeable。For me it was that one book that you kinda want to push through to see if it gets good and by mid way it did。 And once Stella gets comfortable with everything, the steamy scenes are great。 But also shows just how compatible Michael and Stella are, with the chemistry being off the charts。 。。。more

⭐3。5⭐De a ratos lo sentí impersonal, como si no pudiese terminar de conectar con los protagonistas o la historia en sí。 Pero me hizo reír y tienen bocha de momentos tiernos y hermosos。 Amé a la familia de Michael y de paso me dejó con terribles ganas de leer un libro sobre Quan。

Kaleigh Hunt

What I enjoyed: the Autism representation, the reverse Pretty Woman trope, the characters。 I found the plot, smut scenes, and main male love interest to be lacking。 He was being praised for the bare minimum constantly in this book, and he was not the most exciting or likable character to me。

Update。 Can’t stop thinking about this book。 Updating it to a 5。 A solid 4 from me。 I had a husband pick a number 1 - 100 so I could randomly read a book off my TBR。 It happened to be this one。 When I started it, I wasn’t that excited, but it didn’t take long for me to start to enjoy this one。 Fast paced from the beginning。 Though I’m only giving it 4 stars, it’s probably my favorite romance I’ve read this year。

not a review, but I decide to find out what this book is because my English teacher mentioned she was reading it… I’m never going to look or think of her the same 😭

don't judge me for thisit took me a little to get into since i didn't love the beginning but after that it was addicting and i actually really loved their relationship。 it was very fast paced though which i don't usually like but it was okay here, but i did think their relationship could've gone more in depth and been stretched out longer don't judge me for thisit took me a little to get into since i didn't love the beginning but after that it was addicting and i actually really loved their relationship。 it was very fast paced though which i don't usually like but it was okay here, but i did think their relationship could've gone more in depth and been stretched out longer 。。。more

Seriously, this book was a hell of a journey I loved it I got sick of it then I fell in love W it again。 The only thing I have to criticise is that there was way too much smut in it, this coming from me。 But the end was beautiful and the authors note was amazing。 Scared I’ll be in a reading slump after this

A little (lot) more sexual than I expected。 But it had the story to back it up, so it wasn't annoying or anything。 However, by the fourth time or so, I was rolling my eyes。 The fact that the guy had an 8-pack broke the immersion。 American healthcare FTW。 /s。Not sure I can recommend to anyone not already sold on the romance genre。 It's definitely exaggerated, but at the end I was smiling, and it's overall very wholesome。 The final few words were *chefs kiss*。 3。5-4ish stars A little (lot) more sexual than I expected。 But it had the story to back it up, so it wasn't annoying or anything。 However, by the fourth time or so, I was rolling my eyes。 The fact that the guy had an 8-pack broke the immersion。 American healthcare FTW。 /s。Not sure I can recommend to anyone not already sold on the romance genre。 It's definitely exaggerated, but at the end I was smiling, and it's overall very wholesome。 The final few words were *chefs kiss*。 3。5-4ish stars 。。。more

I totally hear where the negative comments come from regarding this book…。。 BUT…。 I can’t not love it。 Also, it’s a fictional story。 And it’s written beautifully。 I read this book in 24 hours starting with “let’s just see how the first chapter goes” to “holy shit this is sexy” to “omg I love the characters”。 I think Hoang did a fantastic job with the sequence of events。 She pulls you in with the spice but keeps you there for the character development。 Loved loved loved and can’t wait for the oth I totally hear where the negative comments come from regarding this book…。。 BUT…。 I can’t not love it。 Also, it’s a fictional story。 And it’s written beautifully。 I read this book in 24 hours starting with “let’s just see how the first chapter goes” to “holy shit this is sexy” to “omg I love the characters”。 I think Hoang did a fantastic job with the sequence of events。 She pulls you in with the spice but keeps you there for the character development。 Loved loved loved and can’t wait for the other two! 。。。more
