My Review:

Since coming out as greysexual recently, I have been scouring to find books to learn more about it. Since I haven't been able to find books specifically about greysexuality, I have turned to read books about asexuality.

I have to say, I really liked this book. It explained things in a simple but effective way. I really liked that the author mentioned greysexuals. I think the author did a great job of breaking up the topics through a frequently asked questions format. This allowed me to skip around as I don't have a need for the coming-out questions, but I could go to the intimacy and relationship questions very easily which is what I was mainly interested in reading.

This is definitely my favorite book so far about being ace. It was easy to read, covered a wide variety of topics, and was personalized by the author's experiences. It also gave the feeling of being very welcoming which can be hard to do when providing explanations and discussions. I highly recommend this if you're new to the asexual spectrum or want to learn more about asexuality in general.
