This book means so much to me. I can feel my younger self healing every time I read this. An Ace aro-spec main character who is full of rage, grief, and confusion? A story that explores familial and platonic relationships and how much they can mean to a person? Showcasing love being something other than romantic and/or sexual? Shit had me crying at 2 am. This is exactly the book I needed when I was 12. 
Probably my favourite a-spec book ever.
