Ace

 Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen, 210 pages.

Ace is a book that smoothly combines journalism, cultural criticism, personal memoir to explore not only many facets of what asexuality is and what it means, but also what the lens of asexuality can contribute to larger discussions about sexuality and consent. It's a bit harder to write a long description of a non-fiction book, because that's the big central theme and the rest is details. 

I found this book very interesting and there were definitely things in it that were new to me. Chen includes a very wide variety of experiences that all fall under the umbrella of asexuality, which is almost sure to introduce some new perspectives. Thought-provoking and thorough.
