A review by loischanel
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

3.0

The Kiss Quotient is about an affluent beautiful econometrician called Stella Lane who falls for the equally stunning Micheal Larsen after hiring him to teach her how to find Mr. Right so she can eventually settle down and grant her parents the grandchildren they so desperately seek.

I enjoyed this novel on a guilty pleasure level though I found the sex scenes to be both overly prolific and pornographic. Technically speaking, I think the writing and the pacing was sound making the novel easy to read.

The main two characters, Stella and Michael are developed well in such a way that was genuinely interesting and solid, though most of the rest of the cast were your typical romcom caricatures.

It was hard to settle on the a rating for this book but in the end I awarded 3 stars purely for its overall enjoyment factor, not including Stella's tendency to grate on my nerves. Though it's not my usual preference, I do appreciate something a bit trashy and cheesy from time to time.
