Read the full take

Any love story aficionado will say that the key to a successful couple is intense desire for one another. But what if the character is not interested in romance at all? That opening poses a thoughtful question, and the series builds its warmth on a woman who wants to watch love from the sidelines. The premise is gentle and honest.The strength is the sensitivity. The story treats asexuality with care and gives its heroine a voice that feels real. The comedy of her position is warm and never cruel.The weaknesses are clear. Some scenes are quiet and reflective, and the short run leaves the arc brief. Readers wanting a traditional romance will find it different from what they expect.Recommended for readers who enjoy thoughtful stories about love in all its shapes. Expect a gentle, reflective read.
