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.

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.

sweet, quick read

The most amusing duo I've encountered in a romance novel. As a rule, I don't pay much attention to family relationships in romances, but I found myself engrossed in this one. It's also quite cute. Breezy read.

Honestly, I don't get all the fuss over this book.

Unfortunately, I didn't like the plot and had no emotional investment in the characters.
