4 stars A fantastic look at one person’s experience with mental health and asexuality. I will say this book took me a bit to get into. Based on the title and subtitle, I was expecting a focus on being ace. However, the book deals much more heavily on living with OCD and anxiety. This is…

One aspect I enjoyed about the book is that while Callie loves theater, she’s not much of a performer, preferring…

Loved the emphasis on being true to yourself and embracing who you are, even if that makes you stand out or is different from what people expect you to be. The artwork is stunning.

5 stars I’ll start out by saying I won an uncorrected proof of this book. The first few pages were in full color, the next few in grayscale, and the rest in black and white. However, I found myself completely engrossed in the story and characters that by the end I kind of forgot that…
