Backstory: It took me a full year of reading and reading and reading to understand accept what Ace was and was not, and where I fit. The moment I "got it" changed my life. I thought I was just doing things wrong, that I was not ________ enough (fill in the blank). I was so unhappy with myself.

Figuring this out helped me see everything was actually fine. I didn't need to change, only to accept myself and show myself compassion. This information is vital to someone you know or someone you might know in the future.

The 2 non-fiction books are essential reading, but I've also attached some great and enjoyable examples of Asexuality in fiction, representing a variety of A-spec characters 💜

Thanks for listening and I hope you pick up a few of these!

I recommend Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger as an addition to your list. Great Indigenous fantasy novel with an Ace main character.

These are some great recommendations! I’ve been wanting to read more about asexuality so that I can understand my partner (and myself, if I’m honest) a bit better. Thanks for sharing these!!! 🤩

Another good rec is the Montague siblings series, particularly the second one, whose narrator is an aroace girl :)

I loved that one! I need to read that series again soon
