When I first read the title of this book and then saw the subtitle, my reaction honestly wasn't that positive. A book called "Ace Voices" that bundled 'aromantic' people under the ace umbrella was bound to be problematic reading for me, an allo-aro. So I was pleasantly surprised when Eris Young addressed how a lot of early ace activism inadvertently contributed to (and stills contributes to) the erasure of certain groups, including aromantic allosexual people, early on. 

Aromantic representation is extremely minimal, and what spaces exist for aromantics are usually a bi-product of ace spaces, so it was refreshing and validating to see allo-aros explicitly considered and included for a change.

Young encourages the reader to consider their preconceived notions regarding sex and romance and the societal narratives that exist around both. 

By including their own personal experiences and those of members of A-spec communities, Young has produced a queer own voice text that is inclusive and celebratory as well as informative and probing.

I especially appreciated the inclusion of discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
