appleyreads '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

3.0

fast-paced

---

I felt that this was more ace-focused than aro-focused, and I'd have liked to hear more about specifically the aroace experience, also there wasn't much mention of allosexual aromantic people. I appreciated the mention of aplatonic people and having it explained in a way that makes sense to people who haven't heard of it. I did not like the defense of JKR's "views on gender" it felt kind of random and didn't acknowledge that supporting JKR funds the anti trans movement in the UK. I personally did not get a lot from this book but I can see it being helpful to a newly ace/aro person.
