Allow us to introduce your new asexual best friend, an essential resource serving up the life hacks you need to fully embrace the ace. Expect interviews with remarkable aces across the spectrum, advice on navigating different communities , and low-key ways to flaunt your ace identity.

If this book proved anything it is this...THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR ASPEC IDENTITIES!
I have read many asexual non fiction books this year and many of them reference the same material and the same few “Ace Celebrities” with just different quotes. This isn't any fault of author, but more an observation and fault of the society we live in.
Ace Notes is another YA geared (at least to me) Ace nonfiction. It wasn't memorable, but it had the pieces to be. The biggest drawback for me were lengthy interview transcripts and the random drawings. Both served a purpose, but they felt misplaced.
Thank you NetGalley, Michele Kirichanskaya, and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for the opportunity to read this eARC for an honest review!
