Why read it?
1 author picked How to Be a Normal Person as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are times when books with asexual characters need some humor and lightheartedness for a wholesome mix. Not all ace books need to be sad or angsty. Not all ace books even need to be about sexuality itself. Asexual characters simply need to exist in more books with positive representation, and said books can help teach people that sexless romances are just as valid and meaningful.
From Kieran's list on positive asexual representation.
