The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Somehow I had read the third book in this series back in 2022, so I decided I should read the first two as well.
These books are sexy romances that feature autistic women at the center of the stories, and I really appreciate the representation of autism in fiction. It’s important to show that autism presents differently in women than in men and to provide an understanding of the challenges we face. Hoang does a good job of this, especially as she was going through her own journey of being diagnosed with autism at the time.
As for the plot, it was pretty standard fare for a sexy romance. The main character Stella wants to learn how to enjoy sex and decides to hire a professional to teach her, and that’s how we meet Michael, an escort with his own story to tell. From there, it’s basically a reverse Pretty Woman scenario.
In the end, my take is that it was a fun romance with some good insight into autistic women.
