delayed review, but recently got asked for a recs around a certain type of rep and this one was still in my mind, so figure I should write a review.

I'll admit, I almost DNF'd this book. What saved it was during the bookclub meeting we discussed it at, a member mentioned there were some good scenes exploring amaya's demisexuality in the back half of the book. Since the only reason I picked up this book was for the ace rep, I figured I'd read till I hit the rep. And at that point, I had 50ish pages left. So finished it.

Roach, while ace, wasn't good rep. His part is too small to be anything other than label service. Amaya however I think was a good show of demisexuality, especially contrasting her POV of scenes to the LI - Cayo. You can tell Cayo is feeling the sexual tension and Amaya just isn't. That, plus her earlier internal monologues about using touch because of how it worked for others, were nice to see as a demisexual myself.
