Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is an interesting introduction to and overview of the ways asexuality and aromanticism are defined, the ways sexuality and romantic vs. non-romantic relationships are defined, and the harmful ways society treats all of the above, not only for ace/aro folks but for everyone. It's more a book to help folks who are not asexual or aromantic learn about these things, rather than a personal look for anyone who does identify in those ways or is questioning. While I am not ace/aro myself, I've seen people who are say as much about this book, and recommend looking to reviewers who are for more detail on that.

For myself, I learned a lot in reading this. There are even positive things that I can apply to my own marriage and friendships.
