Wow.
The Kiss Quotient was amazing.
Helen Hoang's debut novel presents one thirty-year old econometrician with Asperger's and one slightly younger escort/tailor.
Ms Hoang does a beautiful job giving us a chance to be inside Stella and Michael's heads and hearts, and as they fall in love with each other, we fall in love with them together, recognizing how they truly are just right and just right for each other.
Loved the secondary characters--Michael's Vietnamese mom and grandmother and his whole host of sisters are especially well done. Set in Palo Alto and Silicon Valley, this felt very real.
Can't wait to see what Ms Hoang does next, and in the meantime, I'll be rereading this book again.
