As someone who has known they are demisexual for a while, this did settle something in me, being 28 and never dated or being in love, which can be socially exhausting. Having more open discussions about sexuality and gender, as well as how we all individually decide what romance and relationships are to us, is a good place to start.

A touching, nuanced take on asexuality. It starts a bit clunky with a cliched ace feeling like she is the only one in the world who isn't normal, but once she starts looking around a bit more she learns that no one else is as normal as they appear. Her research into asexuality invokes dictionary definitions of a lot of terms but her experiences lead her to the conclusion that there is a lot of variation in human experience. I loved the way her friendship with her college friends developed but some of the other plotlines felt a bit rushed and disjointed.
