It was hard to process sometimes, but Helen Hoang’s writing is just that powerful and touching. I was sad, angry, frustrated, and just feeling so many negative emotions. In the author’s note, Helen Hoang explains that The Heart Principle is a half memoir I can totally see that, especially with how real Anna’s responses were. The emotions, vulnerability, and rawness hit me deep within my soul. Through that, he meets Anna, who is unwillingly in an open relationship looking for a possible one-night stand. In short, Quan, a cancer survivor, dives back into the dating scene by using the apps. I was hoping the second book would be Quan’s, but it wasn’t meant to be because he belonged to book three. I freaking fell in love with Quan from the first book. He’s Michael’s cousin and Khai’s older brother. From the previous two books in the series, readers are introduced to Quan, the tattooed bad boy with a soft heart. I will continue to support Helen Hoang’s books because, writing-wise, The Heart Principle was stellar, but I think the marketing and sticking to the romance genre failed this book in some ways.įirst off, let me offer a brief synopsis. Sadly, I am in the minority where I felt disappointed by The Heart Principle, but I see on Goodreads that other reviewers have the same views, which is a relief. I switched between the physical book and the audio. I was a bit skeptical, but I knew I would eventually read it soon and have my own opinions. The initial reviews were mixed, and it seemed like a lot of people were saying that The Heart Principle isn’t actually a romance novel. I was so excited to have The Heart Principle in my hands finally, and the fan art for it looks amazing. When The Kissing Quotient came out, I fell in love with it along with Helen Hoang’s writing. The Heart Principle is one of my most highly anticipated books ever.
