This book is so profoundly relatable, I found myself taking moments just holding the book to my chest contemplating how good it felt to be seen the way this book sees you. The ending is especially special to me, with Natsume's interactions with Yuriko and her sister. I was sobbing in the car on the way home. I'd recommend this book to anyone struggling with asexuality, people who dislike men, and women who tackle the difficulty surrounding whether you want children or not. (less)
