Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else
by Kayla Kaszyca, Sarah Costello
It's okay but I think it never quite nails down what it wants to convey - the authors (who admit up-front and early on that their views are influenced and limited by their cis white middle-class American backgrounds) go over a lot of basic info about how being aro/ace affects your social life (anxiety about abandonment as allo friends pair off, backlash from people expecting you to follow the Standard Script of growing up, complications around dating, etc) but it doesn't really add much to what one might have encountered in online discourse. I didn't really mesh with the division of text between paragraphs/passages in one or the other author's individual voices and the narrator-voice.
Sprinkled-in quotes from aros and ace of different gender identities (cis, enby, trans) and attraction types show the many different ways different aces/aros might experience, ponder, and understand their ace/aro identities in combination with the other aspects of their identity (gender, neurotype, etc).
I wouldn't recommend this as an 'intro to asexuality/aromanticism' for those unfamiliar with it, but maybe aros/aces looking for a bit of introspection, who haven't been all over the internet, might get something out of it.
