Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
Did not finish book.

I felt there wasn't much sensitivity with the writing, it really needed content warnings. One second it would be describing the love of friendships and the next it would be describing a literal murder scene. 

It gave me a bad impression with discussing "male asexuality" at the forefront of the book. At one point the author said something like, "Not to be an incel apologist.." which I believe she would not have to say if she wasn't being an incel apologist 😅 (she was) 

I was disappointed with this because it was reccomended to me a lot. It is not all bad, just kind of all over the place, which happened to be a lot of bad places.
