I wish I had read Hazel’s Theory of Evolution when I was younger. Even thought the words aromantic and asexual weren’t used on page (they were explained at the end of the book), I could’ve related to Hazel so much. I had a friend in my life whose family had always been vocal about how their miscarriage affected their life, and I really felt for them. I think this book also would have helped me understand it more deeply!

Bullying, racism, queerphobia, etc., are experiences talked about more than shown, though numerous instances of bullying is recounted. Pregnancy, miscarriage, etc, are major themes, but not heavily detailed. Some ableism that is dealt with on-page.
