How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual

As an asexual person, I naturally connected a lot to Burgess' experience. There are certain trials that pretty much every ace is going to face at one point: the constant negging from society that you have to be in a relationship, people thinking you're just inexperienced or that they're magically the one that's going to fix you with their magical love making, the fear of living life alone. It's exhausting and Burgess really captures all the complicated feelings of growing up not really feeling the need to prioritize romance.
This book also covered her experience with autism, anxiety, and OCD, which brings a great intersectional view of asexuality. I'm hoping this book continues to be informative for aces and allos alike.
