There is no queer representation whatsoever. Okay, here’s the part where I will provide a bulleted list of pros and cons in an effort to stop jumping around from point to point and instead, give it to you straight. In general, but also as it specifically relates to commonly autistic traits like disliking touch or unwanted physicality. Speaking of saying no, The Kiss Quotient does an excellent job of highlighting the non-negotiable nature of consent. So how did it come to be in my possession? A friend who’s heard me talk about how much I love books, representation, and being autistic, sent it to me. The main character is an econometrician who’s favorite activity is crunching data- but aside from that, it’s pure contemporary romance. If there’s no vampires, robots, or rebellious colonies staging a revolution at the end of the world, I usually don’t want it. I stick more to YA fantasy, dystopia, and the occasional sci-fi. I’d like to say, I pretty much never read romance novels. Though, that second part has to do less with the autism and more with the fact that this is a racy, romance paperback! Scintillating, tongue-in-teeth, toes secretly curled as I curl up on the sofa, pleasurable. And that’s what made the experience of reading The Kiss Quotient so uniquely profound and, yeah, I’ll say it: pleasurable. Okay, this is extreme because I love to read, and let’s face it, most books are not about, or written by, autistic people.
I don’t ever want to read another book that’s not about, or written by, autistic people ever again.
