paddlefoot55 's review for:

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
4.0

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

Another adoringly wonderful addition to The Kiss Quotient series,

I have been hoping for Quan's story since The Bride Test, and I have not been disappointed

Anna goes to show that you never know what is hiding behind a smile. It looks like she has it all, with a successful career, a boyfriend and wonderful family,

But behind all that she is struggling, I can't tell you what a douchebag the boyfriend is, and how I hate, hate, hate nearly everything about her family - I had such visceral feelings whenever they were on the page and I wanted to reach into my reader and slap them stupid.

I mean, how could none of then have realised Anna's beautiful quirks were not more? From the first few pages I got that she was on the spectrum.

Enter tattooed, heartbreakingly wonderful Quan and Anna (and this reader) had no chance.

I love his patience, his loyalty, his love for his family.

I won't lie, I shed more than one tear as I was reading this story

Ms Hoang writes her stories from the heart. You can feel her on every page, and it makes her tales all the more lovable and believable.

I hope we get more of this series in the future
