Mr B's review

It is a relief to have such a thorough description and investigation of what asexuality can be. This book is brilliantly and necessarily intersectional, a breath of fresh air. It covers feminism, racism, ableism, and how all of these things and more intersect with compulsory sexuality. In fact I think I could give it to many of my allo allies, despite its density, and I think that not only would they find it absolutely fascinating and eye opening, I think it would enrich their understanding of themselves and the way that sexuality interacts with culture and society from an entirely new perspective.

I tend to consider myself fairly connected to and well-versed in ace discourse. However, this book gave words and definitions to concepts that I have never been able to fully tease out or understand, let alone voice.

This is such an incredibly thoughtful and lovely and optimistic book. It has opened my eyes to the many, many possibly ways to be ace, and to be happy, that I hope will one day be mainstream knowledge.
