Short but sweet. I appreciated the insights both from Sarah and Kayla's personal experiences, and from survey respondents. I definitely love the idea of purple-coloured glasses!

The authors are young and the tone is casual. The book is written for an audience already steeped in queer/progressive culture. All of which I mention mostly to help differentiate it from similar books out there. It's not the book to give to your confused, conservative parents.
I certainly recommend this book for someone who has considered identifying as asexual /aromantic and wants a crash course (gotta love a 4 hour audiobook). I also think, as with most deep-dives into marginalized groups, there's an opportunity for a greater understanding of yourself and others :)

This is now on my shortlist of fave non-fiction aspec books. It's a great primer to ace and aro identities without feeling like it was written for teenagers.
That being said it very much is written for the chronically online millenial and gen z crowd. Full of Tumblr speak and pop culture references, it's an enjoyable read that flows with the same snappy repetoire that Sarah and Kayla have in their podcast--which this book stems from.

CAWPILE score: 5.29
For being a book that’s supposed to be about both asexuality and aromanticism, it felt like it was more so focused on the former than the latter. I also didn’t realize until I began reading that this book was written by two podcasters — which, don’t get me wrong, isn’t inherently bad, but the writing itself made more sense with that in mind. I get like I wanted more from it, but I’m not sure what; the book just felt very disjointed.

A great primer on the a-spec! Love how they broke down the different facets as well as showed how they overlap. They admitted where their knowledge lacked as cis-white women and made sure to include as many intersectional perspectives as they could!
