if you haven't read ace before by angela chen it's one that i highly recommend

i thought that the messaging was really great i think it was really good too that there was this whole conversation about being a white savior

i also ended up finishing heart stopper volume 2 which i absolutely adored it's just a continuation of volume one where we get to see their relationship between nick and charlie we get to see their relationship expand and i just have fallen more in love with these characters

so watching the two of them navigate their asexuality differently because of the fact that they exist on a spectrum was really truly like it was rewarding and i really appreciated that

i just felt like we were learning so much about what happens culturally traditionally and it was a beautiful aspect of the book but there really isn't much that happens i really was not invested in the romance

i just found the book to be really just charming and just enjoyable

it is such a heart warming and also heartbreaking tale about the stigmas that still exist in relationship to hiv and i'm flying through it is so good so easy to read
