Holy guacamole on a stick... this is certainly something of a book. It's really hard to put into words what this book made me feel. There were moments that made me laugh, there were moments that made me angry, there were moments that made me almost cry. Honestly this book was all the moments

I tried highlighting my physical books for the first time and oh boy am I glad I did. I was probably a bit highlighter happy but I had fun doing it. The characters are easily loveable and the story is interesting. I genuinely believe that this is an important read for anyone and everyone. Whether you're ace, aro, ace-aro or neither, it's important that people understand that for some people, sex and relationships doesn't do it for them

It reminded me of a quote of sex education, said by the wonderful Gillian Anderson: one character says “I don't want to have sex at all. I think I may be broken” and Gillian's character says back “Sex doesn't make us whole. How could you ever be broken?”

It's true whether you are sex positive, neutral or sex repulsed. A relationship is about so much more than sex. It's about love, whether that's sexual love, romantic love or platonic love experienced by Georgia. You are exactly who you need to be in this world, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
