Like I took a miscalculated step or like I missed the last stair, I fell headfirst right into love with Hennessy Lang. Motherfucker.

Another utterly sweet and charming book by Miss Walker. I really loved that it explored what it can mean to be asexual, that it was a part of Jordan’s self-discovery. Their romance was stupid amounts of cute, and I loved all the short bus dates and all the side characters that were interested in their relationship too.

It’s not the full five stars only because this kinda rambling OTT humor doesn’t work for me personally, and it was a big part of the book. It was still really, really good, though.

As someone who finds themselves on the asexual spectrum, it was nice to read about characters who are equally mystified by sexual atttaction and who’ve also grown up wondering if they’re normal.

“All I want really big and rock-hard on a guy is his IQ, and what I consider to be hardcore porn is a picture of a guy reading a book with a hard cover. Soft-core porn is a paperback, and browsing Amazon is my version of PornHub, okay?”

“We see repeatedly, we’re told repeatedly, it’s shown, it’s implied, it’s blatant that sex equals love. That we’re not complete without it. That sexual intimacy is the pinnacle of all relationship goals.”
