This book has been a bit of a letdown for me.
When I heard about this book I was really excited about it. Short stories about ace experiences intermixed with different genres, sounds really good to me.

Because there were different genres throughout the book, it took me a while each story to figure out what the genre was. For me that took away from the enjoyment of each story.

Also, every story is about an ace person struggling through life, having a hard time finding acceptance etc.
I get that when sexuality is involved there is usually some struggle with either your own identity or connection with others.
However, it would have been nice to read about something happier. Something with hope for people that are struggling. A better outlook for the future. A love story even.

All that being said, I had some favorite stories. In order of reading:
-nylon bed socks
-no such thing as just
-smells like teen virgin
