I think this is my favourite non-fiction book about the ace-spectrum so far! I've recently read a few of them and thought I might be burnt-out on them when I dnf'd another one. But this one was great. I truly felt like the author took great care to show the full spectrum and I appreciated the section on intersectionality. The many quotes from interviews with people that are a-spec were great and I definitely related to many things. It is always very healing to see your own thoughts echoed by someone else. The book found a perfect balance between theory, multiple perspectives and a gentle and intelligent authorial voice guiding you through it with just the right level of personality interwoven into the text.
I think this could also be great for people that are new to the topic. In the future I will recommend this book along with Angela Chen's "Ace" and Alice Oseman's "Loveless" to people who want to better understand Asexuality and Aromanticism.
