How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual
by Rebecca Burgess
Thank you to Jessica Kingsley Publishers and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual is a nice, informative graphic novel about the author's, Rebecca Burgess, asexual life. Personally, I know the basics about asexuality but I have yet to consume a story with an asexual main character. Stories with asexual characters are still not as present as is knowledge about asexuality. So I hope that this graphic novel will spread the word about asexuality so that those who feel as excluded as Burgess did may finally come to terms with themselves. Burgess also struggles with OCD and anxiety which is also featured in this memoir. Mainly, Burgess shows her humanity. She asks important questions like: Why is one's life only complete after finding a partner? Overall, Burgess shows how one life with asexuality could be. I hope many more will follow afterwards.
