An adorable story about one of lesser known queer identities. This book is going to be so important to so many young ace people. To teach them that being asexual is okay. That it's not weird and they're not broken. The characters in this book are occasionally infuriating because you're watching them make mistakes like it's a car crash in slow motion, but they're teenagers, so it's certainly in character for them to be making these silly mistakes. Overall, the story feels authentic, and the characters feel real. I also appreciate a subtle message about when it's okay for us to share information about other people and when it's important to let them share if and when they're ready.
