Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann
3.0

Okay, first let me say that it was amazing to read about a main character who was not only of colour but was also a biromantic asexual girl.
The biroace representation was the reason I picked this book up and on that point it Did. Not. Disappoint.

If it weren't for that representation, which we rarely get to see or read about, I probably wouldn't have picked this book up. And that's probably the reason I didn't really enjoy the other aspects of the story.
It was okay. The romance was sweet and it was nice to have discussions around consent and asexuality and queerness in general, but I didn't really feel attached to any of the characters. I was more interested in the relationship between Alice and Ryan and Feenie however that was completely pushed aside and wasn't even resolved in the end...

The writing was fine, just not my type. (The amount of brackets became annoying). (Like, really... three in a row?) (ALL of them were unnecessary).
Another annoying aspect was the fact that they lacked strong communication. Alice did start interesting conversations but never went to the end of them. For some reason they always stopped halfway, without reaching the goal of their conversation... which not only means it was moving slowly, but it's basically a case of if they had communicated better, things would have been so much simpler.

Altogether, I'm still thankful for this book mostly for it's representation I would recommend it and I will talk about it positively. The rest of the story just didn't tick with me I hope it does for you.
