Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen

informative medium-paced

4.0

This was a fascinating read. I've read a lot of LGBTQ+ non-fiction but never a book specifically about asexuality. This was a great exploration of the topic and would be a very accessible introduction for those who need it. I like nonfiction which mixes personal narrative, interviews and research and Chen does that very successfully here. This affirmed what I thought about a lot of topics and gave me a new perspective on others, like the concept of compulsory sexuality. It left me with a lot to think about, particularly how awareness and discussion of asexuality can help with de-centering romantic relationships as the most important within our society.
