as an asexual, this was an interesting read, and a very difficult one. a rare, well explained ace character and graphic sexual detail. im glad i read it, and it's definitely a good book, but i cant imagine ever reading it again.

This is an amazing book with so many important topics raised. That in itself makes it hard to read though.
