On the one hand: I didn't actually learn much from this book. Most of what Chen talks about is experiences/perspectives I've had or I've talked about with friends or I've read about online. (Probably I am an outlier and should not be counted.)

On the other hand: I think this will be a really, really useful book for a lot of people. It's going to make a difference. Chen approaches asexuality as a lens through which society can reexamine its biases and assumptions; framing the narratives that aces disrupt as a way to benefit everyone was a really smart move for one of the first popular books from a major publisher on this topic. I think it's a well-done introduction to the topic that will be really accessible to many people. I'm glad she wrote it.

(And frankly, it's always deeply satisfying to see someone push back against compulsory sexuality.)
