It’s relatable, and it healed an open wound I didn’t know I had, but there’s one problem I had with it that isn’t a huge deal but can make a difference. With that being said, I can’t give this nothing but four stars. Sometimes it feels strange to rate how someone writes, feels, and acts, even though it’s their life I’m reviewing. Sometimes I feel like we don’t have the right to rate something that is considered to be so open and raw. Although this is a graphic novel, it’s non-fiction, and it depicts the real life of someone who’s being brave by talking about their sexuality. Sometimes I feel wrong for adding, rating, and reviewing non-fiction books. But, to avoid explaining even more, I just say asexual. I know not everyone likes labels, and they aren’t for everyone. It’s a sexuality that many people (hell, even me!) are still learning about, but I’m proud of making this discovery at a somewhat young age. I have a pin on my backpack with the asexual flag, and I always share posts on my personal Instagram about asexuality. I’m open about my sexual orientation in real life as well, unashamed of how I feel, even if I still feel like something is wrong with me on a daily basis. I’ve mentioned in my reviews that I’m asexual.
