A sweet, funny, and meaningful book with top-tier Ace representation. The love story is cute, the topic of asexuality is presented in a deep and nuanced way, and there's also an exploration of platonic friendships and familial relationships.
The main character is Alice, an Ace Black woman who falls in love with a boy and, very relatably, questions her sexuality all over again. She also brings forward the important and difficult topics of the hypersexualisation of Black people and of racial discrimination in general, challenging them headfirst and pushing the reader to think. She perfectly represents the confusion of being in a world that sees you as an inherently sexual being when you, in fact, are not.
Overall, a must-read Queer book with a great set of characters, a meaningful message, and a lot of fun too.
