Description

The split attraction model? Alterous Love? Queerplatonic relationships?
From the creator of Perfectly Queer: An Illustrated Introduction, this bold and brilliantly illustrated guide is written for anyone looking to explore the beautiful ace and aro communities; the acefluxes, the arospikes, the demis, the greys, the frays and more.
Separate the myths and stereotypes, and discover some of the wonderful intricacies that shape each spectrum, including: forms of love and attraction, common identities, microlabels, flags, and the entertaining community-led culture.
Packed with quizzes, activity sheets and a directory of further resources, this is a celebration of all things ace and aro!

Critical Reviews

What a wonderful addition to the ace and aro bookshelf. The writing is approachable. The illustrations are playful. And the interactive pages make some of the hard ace and aro questions easier to tackle. Our identity journeys can be delicate things, and Amazing Ace, Awesome Aro is a warmhearted, gentle friend every step of the way.--Cody Daigle-Orians, asexual writer, educator and advocate.

Separates the myths and stereotypes in an effort to discover some of the wonderful intricacies that shape each spectrum, including: forms of love and attraction, common identities, microlabels, flags, and the entertaining community-led culture.--Margaret Lane's Bookshelf, Midwest Book Review
