Nevertheless, this is a really informative and fun read. My eyes had a really hard time reading from time to time. The writing however, wasn’t always as readable as I would’ve liked. It also just has to be said that the art style in this graphic novel is so beautiful. And that leaves you with some questions about that subject. There were also some moments where a certain subject was introduced, to then never be touched on again. That transition felt a bit weird and sudden from time to time. Sometimes you had a row of comics about a certain topic, and then it jumped to another topic. So there were a couple of chapters where there was hardly any talk about asexuality, which was a pity.Īnother pity about How To Be Ace is that it read kind of jumpy. You get promised a personal story about asexuality, but it was more the authors personal life story, with the focus on asexuality. That was definitely a bonus point for this graphic novel.Ī less good point for How To Be Ace is that it doesn’t really give you what it promises.
It is lovely to see that, even though it’s such a personal memoir, it still shines a light on different experiences with asexuality. However, asuxuality is a very personal experience, everyone experiences it in a different way. Especially growing up in a time where asexuality wasn’t a well-known word and where you didn’t have pages upon pages on the Internet filled with information about being asexual.Įven though this is a very personal graphic memoir, it really applies to a large part of the asexual community. How To Be Ace definitely offers you a personal insight on what it’s like to be asexual. But don’t worry, on Wednesday, you’ll get a full length post! Since this is a review for a, rather short, graphic novel, this won’t be a long blog post. From school to work to relationships, this book offers an unparalleled insight into asexuality.
Brave, witty and empowering, this graphic memoir follows Rebecca as she navigates her asexual identity and mental health in a world obsessed with sex.
