I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it took me by surprise. Not only was it charming and touching, but it was a hot read that I devoured! Helen Hoang has perfectly captured a contemporary romance novel--the highs and lows of dating in the 21st century. I loved Stella and Michael; her determination and his patience blended into chemistry that sparkled. The characters jumped off the page. They grew as characters should; not too fast, with heart and reason. The Kiss Quotient was lovely, and if you're looking for a sizzling romance with plenty of whoop-worthy moments, do yourself a favor and pick up this novel! I can't wait to read Ms. Hoang's next novel, and I hope Stella and Michael make a return in the future!
