anishaaa 's review for:

Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else by Kayla Kaszyca, Sarah Costello

4.5

informative lighthearted medium-paced

---

I went into this w/ zero knowledge of the podcast. I have a few friends on the aspectrum, one of whom lent this to me and one of whom told me about their sexuality as I was discussing the book with them. I'd recommend this one to anyone who has ever loved their friends, been interested in the idea of relationship anarchy, and honestly, mostly to people not on the aspectrum. I felt like I was gently handheld while learning a lot about not just what asexuality is, but a deep dive into questioning the way our (western, heteronormative) society values some relationships over others. 

I didn't find the podcast extras too useful, but they were definitely a fun look into the authors' personalities.
