pickSweet and cute story focused on not one but TWO assexual people. Kann does a great job at kinda explaining things without making it sound like an explanation- the characters are rly likable and while this book keeps it real (life and relationships and self discovery are HARD!), it still feels light and enjoyable 💗
so-soVery mixed feelings. The plot was mediocre. Character explained her asexuality well throughout. Like how she wasn‘t questioned about it. It made up few huge points in the plot. Yet didn‘t seem to change this obsession. Maybe it‘s because I identify as ace, and I know everyone does different, but this didn‘t sit well. By the end it caught up a bit more. The early book obsession ends by obsessing over someone else? Nah. #lgbtqa
I think this book was incredibly descriptive of its surroundings and uses music in really interesting ways. What did you think? Did anywhere or any song jump out you in particular?
#LGBTbookclub
Relations of all kinds play a really important role in this book. Were there any relationships that stood out for you? Why? Are there any relationships you wish could have been explored more?

APRIL DISCUSSION
Kann makes a big point within TRA to differentiate between romance and sex. How did you feel about this? Did you learn anything? How would you say this difference impacts our lives?

pickI enjoyed this more than I expected, since I usually avoid books with a love triangle. But it was the pick for #lgbtbookclub and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I liked that while Joy and Malcolm were both ace, they had different expectations and experiences when it came to relationships and love. And Joy's budding friendship with Fox was very cute, their honesty and communication was refreshing. Overall this was a fun summery read!

so-soIn love with her best friend for years, Joy takes advantage of a group trip to fake date a new acquaintance & show her friend what he‘s missing. But maybe she‘ll find something for herself instead.
A cute, fast romance. I liked having an ace main character who also deals with anxiety, the ending pleasantly surprised me. But something about the tone just didn‘t vibe with me, & I am not a fan of miscommunication to cause drama. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
REMINDER

bailedI was looking forward to having an Ace main character, but I'm bailing on this book already. I just absolutely hate it. I'll have to join in on the #LGBTBookClub fun next month! #LGBTQ

pickSoft pick. I am normally more of a romcom watcher than a reader. I enjoyed the storytelling, I am a fan of fake dating tropes, and love triangles so this was good.
I didn't enjoy the writing so much. There are a few times we switch from third to first person narrator which annoyed me. And there are some timeline issues that probably most readers will not catch but which were totally distractions for me.
Okay but what if you took the vibes of My Best Friend's Wedding except made it a weird four friends getaway and the two not dating each other decide to fake date to see if that helps their friends realize they are not meant to be except the fake dating results in a delightful grumpy sunshine pairing? Also, like obviously the person who love your pins is the right person.
