How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual by Rebecca Burgess
3.0
3.5 / 5
An asexual story told in kind of chronological but not always, and with missing info, made this graphic memoir appreciated yet a little disappointing...
Obviously an asexual memoir is always going to hit hard and make me happy to be seen and emotional to read. It mostly was with How To Be Ace.
I do have to say, however, that I thought some things could have been developed a little more (like how did she find herself in a relationship with a woman) and more info about how asexuality can be very different depending on the person (although this is a memoir and therefore this one person's story and feelings, I would have liked more insistance that this isn't the *only* way one feels when they're asexual). I also felt that the different elements of the book were put in an odd order.
