*Long Review Warning*

I don’t often give five stars to book but this one just did it for me.

Just to preface I’m ace and this book perfectly depicted the struggles of coming to terms with being ace.

This book was reflective in all the right ways. Describing the ups and downs of coming to terms with your sexuality and understanding what sex means as an asexual. Which is often interpreted as not wanting sex altogether. Which it can be but often it isn’t as asexuality is a spectrum. 

Pros: Everything 😭 but more specifically the cuteness of both Hennessy and Jordan. There was still all that couple cuteness even without the sex. And don’t get me started on The Soup Crew. I would love to have a group of commuters that invested in my love story.

And contrary to popular belief the part at the end where Jordan’s confessed  his struggle with his sexuality is actually the best part. Because it’s raw and real. I wish more books talked about that parts of discovering your sexuality.


Cons: I didn’t find many. I think at times it was a bit rambly but that’s just Jordan 😭.

Overall:  A beautifully diverse book that discussed asexuality in a way that many author haven’t. (In my opinion). 

This book is truly a diverse read with mentions of people from all walks of life.

Also need to mention the beautiful throuple at the end was *chefs kiss*.  I loved Angus wish he had a book.
