Ace Notes

Ace notes is a perfect gift for someone who just found out about their ace identity. It covers a lot of topics in an engaging writing style which makes it hard to stop reading.

The information is broken up with interviews, which probably makes it easier to read for most, but for me the interviews took me out of the narrative, and the way they were set up was a bit long winded as the author expressed her own experiences in between questions.

There was a lot of information, it seems like everything is covered very thoroughly as far as I know, and I learned quite a lot new things. I think this is a very accessible guide to the ace spectrum that many people will enjoy reading. I liked the pop culture references and the meandering into the realms of fanfiction and Jewish religion.

The downside for me (beside the interviews which is really personal preference), is the structure. It’s very hard to find something you were specifically looking for. It feels like it is one big monologue. It’s won’t bother you so much if you read it front to back, but for specific questions it might be a bit difficult. It truly is a sort of collection of notes, which is precisely what the title already indicated. I recommend this book for everyone, but especially if you’re searching or just discovered your identity.

I received a free e-arc through Netgalley, but it hasn’t influenced my opinions.
