jarshi 's review for:
Hopeless Aromantic: An Affirmative Guide to Aromanticism
by Samantha Rendle
The scholarship on aromanticism is few and far between. I understand that. However, seeing Wikipedia articles and Wiki pages being cited multiple times in the reference sections of each chapter did negative things to my brain.
I saw this highlighted in other reviews and discussions about this book, and I have to agree that it could've benefited from waiting to be published. It felt more like the author's own personal introspection about being on the aromantic spectrum rather than a comprehensive text that discusses the identity. And that's fine, but it raises the question as to why this book is called a "guide."
I mean, there were multiple sections where the author outright says they don't know anything about the topic they're discussing and it made me think, "Then why are you writing about it?"
