The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang


Title: The Kiss Quotient
Author: Helen Hoang
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance

After being pressured by her parents to fall in love and start giving them grandchildren, Stella is determined to find a boyfriend before her mother finds one for her. The only problem is that she's never dated anyone and has no idea where to start. Stella identifies as autistic and has a hard time feeling comfortable in social situations. She finally decides that she can become good at dating the same way she became so good at the economics job she loves - with lots of practice - so she hires Michael to teach her how to be in a relationship. Michael would normally never spend so much time with one client, but after putting his dreams on hold to help his mom, he can't turn down the amount of money Stella offers him. They soon find themselves in a fake relationship that starts feeling more and more real to each of them. 

This is an fun, authentic book that was inspired by author Helen Hoang's own autism diagnosis and is all about characters who see their differences as strengths instead of something to overcome. Fans of romance or of entertaining and relatable characters will enjoy this!
