This was so good.
I have a lot of thoughts but mostly I'm just so glad this book exists. I needed it 10+ years ago, but it's healed a part of me all the same.
This is a hilarious & heartwarming story about the college experience. No lovers, just enemies and friends (at the same time).
This is also the story of two people experiencing aroace joy while navigating a world that doesn't always make sense to them.
We see through Jo and Sophie that platonic love is just as strong and just as important as romantic love. We see a vision of a future that makes room for a-spec people, one that I hope comes to be understood and accepted more broadly by society soon.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is ace, aro, aroace, anywhere on those spectrums, as well as literally everyone else who exists!
