One of my GR friends was posting updates about how much this book resonated with her, and how she seemed to finally find a book "about her".
I learned more details of the ace community and how much they often internalize all of society's "normal behavior" than any other book I've read.
Well, let's start with what I really liked - the way the ace spectrum was represented. Maybe Hennessy can convince Jordan that his world hasn’t been turned upside down at all, but maybe it’s now-for the first time in his life-the right way up. Leaving his North Shore support group behind, he starts his own in Surry Hills, where he meets first-time-attendee Jordan.Ī little bewildered and scared, but completely adorable, Hennessy is struck by this guy who’s trying to find where he belongs. His being asexual had seen the end of a lot of his romances, but he’s determined to stay true to himself. Hennessy Lang moved to Surry Hills after splitting with his boyfriend. But when he realizes adding the label ‘asexual’ might explain a lot, it turns his world upside down. Gay, geek, a librarian, socially awkward, a nervous rambler, an introvert, an outsider. His being asexu Jordan O’Neill isn’t a fan of labels, considering he has a few. Jordan O’Neill isn’t a fan of labels, considering he has a few.
