I didn't fully like Michael, he felt a bit off at times, but I did enjoy the autism representation and I always adore seeing autistic characters handle relationships in different ways, so that part kind of overshadowed my uncertainty about the mmc.
I wish there had been more discussion about both Stella and Micheal's insecurities and misunderstandings towards the end. We saw them tell those things to themselves and kind of figure them out on their own, but I wanted more of actual conversations about them with each other.
Content Warnings: fatphobia, ableism, sexual assault, cancer (side character/family member), abandonment, infidelity, mention of stalking, panic attack.

My only gripe about The Kiss Quotient is that Michael starts off as a CONSENT KING, which I absolutely loved, and towards the end of the book that emphasis on explicit consent faded out. I also found the resolution towards the end a bit rushed in comparison to how the rest of the plot/character development had played out.
Still, I cannot wait to read/listen to the remainder of the books in this series.

The spicy scenes were well written, considerate over both consent and contraception, and also surprisingly non-awkward to listen to on an audiobook — I mean, who wouldn't like Michael? I didn't appreciate some of his word choices though; who on earth finds terms like "pornstar nipples" sexy?? The characters' insecurities felt raw and relatable in the beginning, but over time it felt like their insecurities became their only personality trait as they both were so stuck in their ways and bathing in self-loath.
side note: I also saw (too) much of myself in Stella especially regarding to her relationships — should I finally go get a proper diagnosis?
