Alice is secretly asexual, and thats the least important thing about her. Shes a college student, has a great job, amazing friends, and is fine being single - nope, thats a lie. Alice wants rom comgrade romance: feels, cuddling, kissing, and swoons galore - as long as it doesn't lead to having sex. When her last relationship ends, Alice swears off relationships for good. Stick a fork in her, shes done. Everyone Alice tries to date is so sure love and sex have to go together, and there doesnt seem to be any way to convince them otherwise. But when Alice meets Takumi, who she can't stop thinking about, she doesnt know what to do. If Alice tells him the truth, it can only end in heartache. But theres something about Takumi that makes him worth the risk. . . .

Praise for Let's Talk About Love

 

 

"Alice is black, biromantic, and asexual, and her relationship with Takumi is genuine and fun. . . . A light, enjoyable asexual romance with outstanding representation. Recommended." --School Library Journal

"Debut novelist Kann thoughtfully tackles what it means to be asexual and gives Alice a platform to discover who she is and what it means for her relationship with Takumi. Asexual readers will appreciate the visibility, and those--like Alice's ex--who know poorly understand it, will gain a better sense of what love without sex can look like." --Publishers Weekly
