anakuroma 's review for:
A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality
by Molly Muldoon
*Many thanks to Limerence Press and NetGallery for the eARC of this book!*
TW (as stated on the title page as well): sexual violence, corrective rape, medical discriminations, depression, PTSD, trauma, rejection, bullying, asexual stereotypes, mean and inappropriate internet comments
As an asexual person myself, I found this easy to follow graphic guide beautiful and simple. I would have really benefited from being able to read it when I first was learning details and putting names to feelings I had my entire life. I can fully endorse this book from an ace perspective!
Will Hernandez's illustrations are perfect, not too busy or confusing, and both they and Molly Muldoon are excellent guides on answering commonly asked questions and sorting out any confusion the reader might have. Absolutely essential and I recommend it to all libraries and schools.
*Edit: After more thinking and re-reading, I do have a complaint on the way asexuality in the wider LGBTQIA community was handled. They say 'some people thing the A is for ally" but don't go into dispersing this false claim. I am much more comfortable now ignoring people who claim such a thing, but I know when I was a baby-ace I was severely affected by it, and it would have helped to have this book back us up a bit more in that area.
