How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual

An important book necessary for high school, college, and public collections. I appreciate Burgess's honesty and vulnerability in sharing their story and also using it as a platform to give information and visibility about asexuality, anxiety, and OCD. The memoir is warm and inviting, well laid out, and includes resources at the end.

Part helpful guide, part memoir, this graphic novel is a wonderful exploration of asexuality, OCD, and the feeling of not fitting in. It is rare for me to feel represented as an ace woman, more rare still to see representation of both my asexuality and my OCD in one person, and it made be feel seen to a degree I was not expecting. This is a beautiful little book that everyone should read.
