Verlagstext:

Do you ever feel alienated by the way society presents love? Maybe you find the idea of romantic relationships off-putting, or maybe it's just 'not your thing'. Sound familiar? Aromanticism is a spectrum of identities where people have little to no interest in romance, or only feel attraction under certain circumstances.

This essential book weaves together insights and perspectives from aromantic people across the world, sharing their stories of self-discovery and community. Chapters explore how aromanticism interacts with mental health, dealing with stigma or dismissive attitudes, intersection with different cultural expectations, and more.

Whether you're new to an aromantic identity, have been part of the community for years, or just want to know more, this book will help you understand what aromanticism is and what it means for you.

Ellie ★★★★★

I've been looking for a resource that explains aromanticism without relying on romantic analogies, and the "in Our Own Words" subtitle on this collection is exactly what I needed. The essays cover everything from relationship anarchy to platonic partnerships in a way that feels validating. It's rare

George W. ★★★★★

Finally, a book that puts words to feelings I've had my whole life without ever being able to explain. The collection of personal essays covers so many different experiences within the aromantic spectrum, and I felt truly seen reading it.

Ryan N. ★★★★★

This collection of essays from actual aro folks made me feel so seen for the first time—the chapter on "society's love script" really hit home. I’ve already read it twice and lent it to a friend who’s questioning.
