Hey everyone. Welcome back to Heaving Busams. The podcast were two best friends, recap and review romance novels,

while doing friendship in front of you, generally being silly and loving each other.

Today, before we jump into everything, I have a Patreon shout out. This goes out to

Jackie G. Jackie, you are a fairy of fortitude and friendship.

You will use anything at your disposal, all the tricks up your sleeve to help the ones you love,

and your mischievous imagination makes you a hoot to be around.

All right, we were so excited to read the Kiss quotient by Helen Huang,

and we're even more excited to chat about it. Aaron and I, however, recognize our limitations, and we have very limited experience and knowledge regarding autism.

We want to make sure we're honoring the neurodiverse community.

So if we make mistakes regarding phrasing or seem to have been harmfully misguided by pop culture

or our own assumptions, please feel free to correct us via email.

It's certainly not your responsibility, but we do want to learn.

So if you're inspired, don't hesitate to email heaving bosoms podcast at gmail.com. We hope to see more

amazing works featuring neurodiverse characters in the future and will definitely

be doing more reading on our own to educate ourselves.

All right, so without further ado, let's jump into the Kiss Quotient, Helen Huang's

amazing debut novel. Hi Aaron. Hey Mel how the hell are you? Good how are you?

Good how are you? I'm pretty darn good. You look pretty bright and chipper

for being so late at night where you're at.

I has makeup on.

Oh, that's really, no, believe it or not,

I have makeup on too.
