Aces Wild: A Heist by Amanda DeWitt
4.0

3.5? maybe?
Reading about a bunch of asexual characters forming a found family and helping each other out is what I've always wanted. Reading such a perfect yet casual repersentation, and explaining the asexual experienceS and feelings (because there are multiples ace characters showing how different aces can be!!! *gasp*) hit me so hard I was so happy.
I AM so happy that this book exists. That I'll be able to throw it at everyone and show them that yeah, you can have great ace characters be the centre of a bad ass heist, without the focus being solely on the fact that they're ace.

Look, i'll be honest I didn't manage to get completely gripped by the plot but I did enjoy the book generally. I think I wasn't in the headspace for this this week but mydumb brain didn't realise it until the book was almost done and I hadn't been paying attention to a third of what i was reading.
I'd love to say I'll one day go back to this book and read it properly, but i know myself and i know that won't happen.
I'll just be content in knowing I loved parts of this book.
