Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else by Sarah Costello, Kayla Kaszyca

emotional informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Every time I feel like I know myself and I understand my identities, I find another a-spec writer/scholar who explains something about myself or my experience that I didn't realize I was self-conscious about, or feeling badly about, and something in me heals to know that it is normal - just by an alternate definition. Having representation, especially self representation of the a-spec experience is wonderful. I'm so happy that there are more books on the subject, by a-spec authors coming out!
