The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

The Kiss Quotient (The Kiss Quotient, #1)The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

2.5/5. I enjoyed the beginning this book but then the characters' actions and thoughts became so frustrating. You know how the book is going to end five minutes into the book, but the path it took to get there was disappointing. It'd been long time since I'd read a "sexy" book. That started out fun, but then it too got old. 

Meanwhile, this is only the second book I've read this year.  Usually by now I would've read ten or more, but with this pandemic going on, I'm having a hard time concentrating and focusing on anything. I picked up this book based on a review I saw on Instragram.  It sounded like the kind of thing that might get me out of my reading rut.  It was a quick read, and I guess it did get me out of the rut because I've moved on to another book.  I just wish it'd been a more enjoyable experience.

Thanks. Will not read. Haha!

I'm reading There There. For some reason, during the Pandemic, I'm drawn to sad and dark vs. light and happy. I'm enjoying it so far. Though not sure how you say you're enjoying a book that is troubling and sad. I'm finding it a very interesting and enlightening read and when the pandemic is over I want to go to Oakland. Another book on my list is Homegoing. Maybe add it to yours if you haven't read it yet. I heard it's really good.

I enjoyed both of those. Homegoing is hard to read...especially the beginning. We read There, There at work for Native American history month. The discussion was interesting because most of the people in the group had never met someone who’s Native American. (As far as they knew.) I really wanted to eat fry bread the whole time I was reading it!
