I received an e-ARC of this book through Netgalley.
Ace and Aro Journeys starts with the very basics and builds on them to create a clear and inclusive guide on asexuality and aromanticism. Testimonials from various aspec people add extra context to each part of the book. Despite it being sub-titled A Guide to Embracing Your Asexual or Aromantic Identity, it’s also a good introduction to the subject for allosexual and alloromantic people who wish to better understand the ace and aro people in their lives.

Ace and Aro Journeys by The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project Review
Well when i saw this as read now i immediately hit that button
And you know what i went in hoping it would not just be about one type of Asexual person or one type of Aromantic person or just be AroAce people. And you know what it absolutely delivered
It has a little bit of everything, it talks about AceAlloro, AroAces, AlloAces, AroAllos and gray/demi sexual and romantic. I was just astounded that there was so much inclusiveness around people's identities even with gender, disabilities and Race. It even talks about Kink.
It goes through the basics, it has a glossary at the end for a lot of terms and it was just so lovely to see. I even found myself in the book that i did not think would be possible because I differ from what a lot of AroAces are. And it was just so nice to see it there on the page.
Also it has places to look up for communities, People, Books, and media.
I definitely recommend this book for sure
The only thing i did not like was the HP reference honestly. I guess there might have been more that could have been said but you can only say so much without repeating yourself

Thanks to @netgalley
