So, I read this because it had demi-sexual MC rep.
I really struggled with a rating for this book because it was a well-written exploration of intimacy and attraction between an allosexual woman and a demi-sexual man, but it felt like that was all it was. The little plot there was outside their relationship was short, simple, and easily predictable - which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I felt like it had the potential to be something more complex, detailed, and in-depth.
For me this was a 2.5/2.75.
