For a wide number of reasons, Francesca Zappia books have become a comfort go-to. The kind of read that I pick up when I just want to be relieved from my own thoughts for a minute. For this reason, I'm very biased when it comes to reviewing this book. Truth to be told, I didn't love it. Personally, I found that it had too many characters and that almost no one of them had been given much depth. Even the main characters were kind of stereotypical. The plot itself was very simple and yet so much complex at the same time. It left me with more questions than answer, a matter which, to be fair, was addressed in the last few pages. I'd love to read a sequel to get to know this world a bit better. 
I almost forgot, it has actual, on page asexual representation! I'm not surprised, given the context in which this author was recommended to me, but I think it's the first time I find out about the representation by reading the book, and not just knowing beforehand
