_miani 's review for:
It's Always Been You
by Elin Annalise
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review (also, I usually don't do book-reviews, so bear with me).
This was my first book written by Elin Annalise, but it will not be my last. I really enjoyed it!
It has a classic “enemies-to-lovers” trope, with the backstory nicely explained through flashbacks. Both of the main-characters had a different feel to them, and I liked how they were at different places in their journeys to figure out their asexuality - Courtney having known for years and Sophie just figuring it out, and still questioning some parts about herself and her identity. It gave the author a chance to inform readers about different aspects of the asexual spectrum, without forcing it on people, and I really liked that.
While some of the plotpoints seemed a bit silly and cliché, it did not make me enjoy it any less. Maybe I’m just a sucker for a good cliché?
If you find yourself in need of a nice, light queer book, this book is definitely worth a read.
