I feel like this book had a pretty even balance of discussing the different experiences of asexual people and aromantic people and all the places where they might interact. I loved that there were discussion questions at the end of each section because it really got me to think about how I interact with the my own asexuality beyond just seeing my experience represented on the page.

It’s hard to rate a book which discusses people’s personal experiences. I did have some good takeaways from this read but I think the main reason I’m rating it lower is because it dragged a lot for me due to the formatting and style. It feels a bit disjointed going from the authors own thoughts to huge chunks of quotes from other people (while we don’t ever fully get to know) and then homework questions. I wanted to like this more than I did but the formatting and then the ending not fully wrapping up the ideas in the book made it fall a bit flat for me compared to other books I’ve read with similar topics recently.
