Book Beginning: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang, June 5, 2018, Berkley:
"Stella Lane 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."

Book beginning:
"I know you hate surprises, Stella. In the interest of communicating our expectations and providing you a reasonable timeline, you should know we're ready for grandchildren."
Stella Lane'e eyes jumped from her breakfast up to her mother's gracefully aging face. A subtle application of makeup drew attention to battle-ready, coffee-colored eyes. That boded ill for Stella... 
Page 56:
"Actually, I think it's a good thing. Now that she thinks I have a boyfriend, she should stop trying to arrange blind dates for me."
