Just Another Book Bitch's ALWAYS SPOILER FREE REVIEW

Sometimes you stumble on a new author that not only writes beautifully but brings to light a condition many live with. Something that you may or may not be familiar with but is so well done it opens your eyes and makes you want to shake the hand of said author and say “thank you”. Thank you for your words. Thank you for opening my eyes. Or maybe thank you for putting into words how I feel on a daily basis with the promise that yes there is someone out there who will understand you and accept you for you. The Kiss Quotient is that book. Author Helen Hoang is that author. You’re about to embark on an original story told from the heart with such passion and empathy you can’t help but fall, not only for the characters but for the author herself. You can truly see she is writing from her soul when creating these characters. They were meant to be put to paper for all the world to read and Hoang performed that task flawlessly.

I can honestly say I've never read anything like this before. The condition Stella lives with is one I'm not personally familiar with. However, Hoang's seamless depiction of the struggles that people like Stella deal with on a daily basis was eye-opening. I truly empathized and fell in love with Stella. Yes, she may have her idiosyncrasies that those around her don't understand. But she is also a brilliant strong and independent woman that I found myself completely and totally immersed in. I found her to be such a beautiful character that deserves all the love understanding and passion that she's looking for.

Michael Phan is everything a girl wants. In real life and in her romance novels. He's an amazing character that is sure to sweep you off your feet. But I have to say It's not just the hero and heroine that make this novel. The realism that Michael's family delivers to this novel makes you feel as if you are one of them. You hurt when they hurt, you laugh with their crazy antics and you feel as if you are one of them. These characters and their personalities added so much more heart to this story it was the perfect touch to truly bring this story home for the reader.
