Not much plot and not much narrative conflict. Nice to read a book with asexual characters, although there was kinda a weird message that ace people can never be in successful relationships with allo people. It was less 'its so much more comfortable/less work to be with another ace person' and more 'being with an allo person is impossible'. It would have been nice to have at least one character who showed this was a possibility!
Pure romance isnt really my thing but its refreshing to see romance that is like these two really fancy each other where boning isnt the natural or preferable outcome of that. I enjoyed the soup crew scenes as well
