Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else
by Kayla Kaszyca, Sarah Costello
i was listening to this audiobook through earbuds when my dad said something to me; i paused it so i could hear him and he said word for word, “i wonder what your future husband’s going to be like” and it was so wonderfully ironic that i couldn’t help but laugh.
the idea of the aspec-lens is so interesting, simple, and complex all at once. in theory, it should be easy enough to apply, but in practice? that’s much more difficult. i found many of the ideas they brought up thought provoking and educational as someone who doesn’t know a ton about the topic. i also loved the anecdotes from the survey participants, and i found those to be nearly as valuable as the book itself. overall, it might not be for someone looking to dig really deep into the topic as it’s a very short book with a very wide target audience, but i found it helpful and informative.
as for the actual audiobook, the two authors are very talented podcasters and it comes across clearly in their reading of this book. based off my reading of other reviews, it may be better consumed in the audiobook format over a physical or e-book reading of it.
