My most anticipated read of 2018 did not disappoint. With The Kiss Quotient, Helen Hoang has written some of the best, most complex characters I've ever read! I simply ADORED this debut novel. I loved the heroine, Stella, in all her sweet, nerdy awkwardness (yay for STEM heroines!) and Michael was glorious as a hero. I appreciated the honest portrayal of Asperger's in Stella. Michael as an escort was a bit of ying to Stella's yang. These two had fantastic chemistry and a great slow burn romance. There was a bit of back and forth between the two that made it all the more delicious to get to the end. I loved and appreciated the way Helen Hoang incorporated Michael's Vietnamese family/culture into the story flawlessly. TKQ is a unique take on contemporary romances that EVERYONE needs to read.
