Ace Voices

Any book about asexuality makes me emotional but I ofcourse can't resist reading because where else will I be able to get to know more about the kind of feelings and experiences that might feel similar to mine. This was definitely a very good one where the author gave a lot of their thoughts as well as comments from other a-spec people who were part of this project - talking about their fluid identities, what asexuality means to them, how they view relationships and what kind do they want to have, their dynamic with sex and how much it is/was influenced by societal conditioning that sex and amatonormativity is a universal experience and anyone outside of these norms are missing out, and more.

There was a lot to absorb in this book and I feel like it'll be something I'll go back to again and again, especially when I need some affirmations. As someone who can't really be out as ace irl and has certain expectations which I can't avoid, I definitely need books like this to help me reassure myself that I'm not built wrong and my feelings and identity are valid. There is so much I could say because I'm having too many feelings, but I just don't wanna go on a personal tangent in this review. Definitely recommend if you are an a-spec person or is trying to figure out if you fall somewhere on the spectrum.
