I was really excited when this came in at the library. And after reading it, I really don’t know how to feel. 

Read for the Read Harder 2022 prompt: Read a book with an asexual and/or aromantic main character.

I think that this was a good book. I think that it was also incredibly British, which was on one hand very fun, and an interesting look into British university culture, but on the other hand a little concerning I mean do y’all really have a drinking culture like that?? How are you still alive?!

I think I enjoyed it. Honestly, the self loathing was incredibly triggering and hard to read. I felt very uncomfortable for a lot of the book. But I liked the characters, they felt very realistic, I loved the growth. And I loved aroace rep! 

I think that the intended audience for this one is probably amato allo folks and I guess that’s fine I dunno. Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about this one. 

3.5 stars?
