cukrkandl '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

---

At multiple points throughout the book, aromanticism feels like an afterthought or a side note that almost didn't make it into the text. The authors say somewhere that it was originally pitched to them as a book strictly on asexuality and that makes a lot more sense; they even call it "a book about asexuality" a couple times, which would be all good but then maybe don't call it An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on whatever? Just don't expect there to be a complex view on aromanticism, it is much more about asexuality.
