The rep in this made me super happy. Alice is biromantic asexual (though there's a section where she wonders if she's grey-a), and that was so, so good to see. As a bi demi, I hold every type of ace rep close to my heart and Kann did a great job here.

I would even call this a 'teaching book'. Slide it towards someone whose mind you want to expand or try to indirectly teach about asexuality. Because I know conversations can be hard for people.

The friends in here are amazing. Alice's sorta-triad with her bestie and her fiance. Alice's own blooming friendship with Takumi, and that transition to something romantic. It's all well played.
