Upside Down by N.R. Walker
4.0
Ok. So this is not the first book that I’ve read that has addressed asexuality. What did surprise me about how the relationship is written was that while both MMCs identified as asexual, it was strictly in only one section or whatever of the spectrum. I also didn’t care for the group (at least those whose names were listed as speaking during share time) to seem like they were all this one number on the spectrum that the MMCs were, which is only interested in the companionship aspect of a relationship which seems very polarizing to me as I briefly thought asexual might fit me. Lastly, my brain battled with all my knowledge about the human body, especially how sensitive our hormones are male or female & how we can be deceived into thinking “we don’t like sex” as being something that just is, rather than looking into how a low libido & sex drive can be naturally & safely corrected. Ugh. 😑 so many thoughts. This story feels a bit rife with errors & not inclusive IMHO & I’m surprised that while Walker’s great character banter & side characters were fantastic, this is another big ball drop for me. Take that as you will. Listened via Hoopla Sac
