5 audiobook stars for sure!! The effort!! The muffled voices, the voices on the other end of the phone call.. the eerie sound effects, the tangible sounds of pages flipping.. I am very impressed. 

I also really loved the ending. That last and final twist. I was well spooked. 

Heavy content warnings though. 

I breezed through the audio and really wanted to like it. But I don’t :(( 

Rating Weather Girl 5 stars :) 

No thoughts, just cosy rainy vibes 

Edit: 4 stars after cooling off period from grounding and sweet love 

Listened to this on audio. I’m thinking if I read this as a physical book I’d rate it much higher. It’s easy to miss out on/drift off at overly descriptive narrative when listening on audio. While it’d fair better in as a paperback read. I adore realities cooking competitions so I naturally ate this up. I loved all the cooking and competition aspects of this book, and really enjoyed Sadie’s imperfect & humorous perspective. And her interactions with her fellow cast mates. I loved all the other side characters!!!!!! I thought they were all portrayed well without being patronising to the storyline. 

A silly, entertaining read! Will reread if I’m feeling down in the future. 

I can’t……. I tried to pick this up again so many times. I really tried. But this isn’t for me :( I thought book 1 was really endearing but book 2 is unbearably draggy. I couldn’t get behind or with the humour and the characters either. Definitely wished for more depth to the characters in this second book but pages were extremely wasted on meddy’s internal dialogues which I got bored with by the 20% mark. 

I finally was in the right mood for this internet-favourite. And I devoured this book in two sittings. The first time before I slept and the next morning I woke up I finished the book. This is the second time I've done this two-sittings read in a month! I am on a reading streak and I am so here for it. 

WHERE DO IT BEGIN. I completely understand why everyone loves this book. The love was exploratory, obsessive, head-over-heels and the love-making was all-consuming, soft and so so tender. It was the perfect "we only have eyes for each other" trope and I was all about it. The love story between Stella and Michael and their respective insecurities and reservations were all believable. Not absurd, like a lot of the other romances I've come across.

The Kiss Quotient isn't perfect though. There were a few icks about this book. For one, how Michael referred to his past clients as "crazy" numerous times irked me every time he mentioned it.

I enjoyed this book, a lot. Maybe too much. And found myself chuckling and giggling to myself, lost in the pages. Sucked into the world of Stella and Michael. But I think if I were to judge this more critically, I'd have loved to read a more nuanced love story.
