#Ace of Hearts#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#asexual books#i thought this was alright! its pretty short i think it's a novella#theres some things that im like. what were they actually studying at uni lol. does it even tell us. idk how american uni works.#none of the story focused on that#also she seems pretty self-hating about being ace but then says she’s totally accepted herself about it? but like…..evidence shows she’s not#maybe it's just that she's self hating and depressed and noone will love her because of this and that shes ace and but also that's separate#from how she feels about her asexuality it just did not read that way lmao#anyway not that there's a problem with writing internalised aphobia - but it just felt weird that it pretended that that's not what it was?#unlike other romances that throw in random trauma as a plot device the abusive father stuff was woven in and not unexpected
