Everything about him pleased her. Not just his looks, but his patience and his kindness. He was good. He was an obsession waiting to happen.

There was something novel and wonderful about being in a crowd and not feeling alone

From the author of The Bride Test comes a romance novel hailed as one of The Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Fiction in 2018 and one of Amazon’s Top 100 Books of 2018! “This is such a fun read and it's also quite original and sexy and sensitive.”—Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author “Hoang's writing bursts from the page.”—Buzzfeed A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick. Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice—with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan—from foreplay to more-than-missionary position... Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Autistic woman falls in love with a gigolo. Misunderstandings ensue. Ok sex scenes. Ridiculous, easy, entertaining read.

The immaturity of the characters got to me slightly in this book. I will continue the series to see if they mature some.

3 stars!!

The immaturity of the characters got to me slightly in this book. I will continue the series to see if they mature some. 

I've reread this book so many times and yet it never gets boring.

Michael and Stella are amazing characters. I really liked seeing them get to know each other and doing things together.

I liked seeing Michael's family, but I thought that they could have been shown in a bit more detail, like all of Michael's sisters.

I really hope that one day I'll find another book like this that will be just as good.

This was such a sexy, endearing, funny, and heartwarming love story!! The characters were so cute but flawed with their own insecurities it made me want to shake them!! They were real and relatable I couldn’t put it down!!

To be honest I don't think I would have picked this book up if I wasn't curious on thinking it'd be like Chemistry another "math sort of love story." After all the heavier kind of books, I have been reading lately it was at least refreshing to read this kind of story. I love the idea of showing an autistic person falling in love and I liked reading's Stella's point of view.

Tsamarah

Finished this in a day!! the ending was ok but the characters and plot was exquisite. 

It also the first book I’ve ever read that discuss autism and it definitely opened my eyes more about types of autism and how they cope with it. Great read.

Probably wouldn’t have picked this up if it wasn’t a blind date with a book, but it was really cute

** spoiler alert **
           This book is very cute and sweet, but I didn’t enjoy the ending. I don’t want to say it felt rushed, but it was very cliche while the rest of the book didn’t feel that way.

I did really like that Stella has Aspergers and that Michael is Vietnamese. Diversity is always a plus in my book. Also, the love scene was great. It didn’t feel out of place at all, and it flowed pretty naturally.

sarah

super cute and fun! I loved the Vietnamese culture tied in with this and how the main character had Aspergers. the two leads were so easy to love and the story so heavily revolves around them i was consuming in everything and loving it. definitely a quick, fun, and cute read, will definitely be checking out more from Helen Hoang!

It was cheesy, and cute. Total accidental soft porn. I was looking for something light and this was it!

Soooo disappointed. The clichés were bearable but there were some very unbearable gender roles. Plus the smut was not good.

really loved this book made me squeal on my bed so much also love to see a rich autistic fl lead


p.s I've read two books with the mcs working of something related to economics I'm starting to think if I should choose that as my career path 😭

LOVED it. Could not put it down.

While this book is a romance with sex and a delightful lack of euphemisms, it's also about consent and respect. Michael is outraged at the treatment Stella has had by other men. He's not jealous — he's genuinely concerned for her. Besides the actual sex and foreplay there's tons of cuddling and just basic coupling that a lot of romances I've read seem to skip over.

I liked this book! It was a light, easy read. I wasn't expecting much at the first few chapters, but it does get better. It's so cute, and I like it! It was a wholesome story, and I loved reading these kind of pure (but steamy) books. I loved reading the romance unfold through Stella's POV. It helped me understand how people with autism live in the world. The characters felt real which made the story feel genuine. I just wished there was more of Stella's life because we saw Michael's family multiple times, but we only really got a glimpse of Stella's circle before Michael. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this for a cute fast read! It's definitely worth it.

Sonia Grgas

Really 3.5. Took away .5 star because of the continual misapprehensions between the couple involved in the romance. Otherwise it was a fine, entertaining read.

Mel 

This is both a feel good and steamy romance!
Again, I went into this blind not really knowing much about it apart from the fact that it had an autistic main character. 
I loved Stella as a main character and I loved see how passionate she was about her job. She was just a really lovable character. I would have liked to see her interactions with a friend/friends (or does she not have friends? Did I miss that detail?) 
Michael, on the other hand, took a while for me to get into. I don’t hate him but I don’t love him either. I loved meeting his family and his sisters. **i thought the father storyline was a bit unnecessary too**

4 STARS

It was so cute and wholesome they’re so adorable and fit for each other. I love both characters, and was sad when the book ended.

Athena

It's a great, interesting story with amazing representation. Too bad I didn't fall in love with any of the characters

Robi Carballo

No words, just love! This character driven story is so beautifully written.

azliana aziz

with the wedding date and now this one, suffice to say that i learned the important lesson that my taste in romance books differ greatly from r gay. i can trust her other recommendations but big ass nah if it's romance.


i have so many issues with this book. i keep trying to find small merit hidden somewhere, to see wtf people is on when they raves about it so much but until the end, unfortunately it was just a big flat same old recycled stuff. also like the romance was so lacking of genuine attractions. i just don't feel them 90% of the time.

in short, meh.
