Ace

DNF at 61% because my hold lapsed and I don't feel like going out of my way to try to get it again. There is some great stuff in here, but there is also a lot of the author acting like their experiences are universal or that their POV is fact. There were some dunks on polyamory for some reason and a lot of implications that polyamory is pushed on people – when it is in fact another oppressed orientation both socially and legally. I know there are some toxic polyamorous people but there are also toxic ace people and toxic straight people and and and etc.

One minor thing I noticed was a lack of editing/proper research. For instance, Chen refers to ‘Dr. Who' as a potentially ace character. The show is called ‘Doctor Who' and the character is called ‘the Doctor.' Dr. Who is no one and nothing. This is one small slip-up, but seeing something that could be so easily corrected in a non-fiction book automatically puts me off and makes me wonder where else there may be incorrect information.

I think this book is probably good for folks who know nothing about asexuality, but as a polyamorous demisexual/demiromantic person I was not very impressed.
