This comic book is so needed. Asexuality and aromanticism are rarely talked about. You usually learn about it from other queer people and even that isn't always the case. I have found it very difficult to find information about asexuality and aromanticism, so I'm very happy this comic exists. Molly Muldoon and Will Hernandez explain asexuality very well. And even though this comic isn't about aromanticism, they also take some time to explain that as well.
This book also talks about the feeling of invalidation as an ace or aro person. Aphobia is everywhere and the authors made sure that the readers know that they are valid.

The art in this comic is awesome! The illustrations really made the story stronger. Books that contain a lot of new information get boring easily, but because of the illustrations, it stays very interesting and fun for everyone.

This book is a great pick for people who are interested to know more about asexuality, are questioning. If you are ace yourself, this might not give you any new information, but it might give you a feeling of validation.

As someone who's been trying to figure out whether they're on the asexual spectrum or not, I've enjoyed reading this short book, as I feel like it gave me insight into the asexual spectrum that I obviously lacked. I appreciated the format it was written in - it made everything easier to understand and overall contributed to the fun experience I had with this book. The art style was simple, but I find that I preferred that, as it did not distract from what the book was trying to say.

Overall, a fun and insightful read!

As a bisexual/omnisexual woman with minimal exposure to the ace spectrum, I'm glad I picked up this short graphic novel to learn more about the spectrum of asexuality and why some people think asexuality doesn't exist, which is far from true. I also love the art style and it encouraged me to keep reading in addition to the beautiful writing. I'm glad the illustrator and author are bringing awareness about asexuality, which isn't well known in mainstream media.

The best thing about this book comes from its title: Its a quick and EASY to understand guide on asexuality.

I will be honest and say I had some confusion and some preconceptions about asexuality which incidentally is the reason why I requested this book. I thought it would be longwinded and cause me some more confusion but it was very straight to the point and did not mince words in explaining its subject matter.

This well rendered book tackles several insightful topics such as what asexuality is, the asexuality spectrum, growing up asexual among others via great and easy to digest examples/scenarios.

I finished this in one sitting and would definitely recommend it for anyone curious about the subject or someone who just wants to know what it is about without fancy jargons and acronyms. Go get this if it might be something that interests you. It will be worth it.

This is the third guide in this series that I've read, and like the other two, it brought me a better understanding, a clarity, about what asexuality, is in this case.
These guides that have been released have been helping me a lot to understand different realities regarding sexuality, gender issues and what transsexuality is, subjects that I didn't have much access to in my youth.
It's a way to approach the subject in a calm and simple way to understand.
I think this book is worth reading for anyone who wants to understand the reality of other people's lives, or their own. It's certainly accessible to everyone, which is a wonderful thing. It is a super easy and quick read, all the concepts present are treated in a very simple and clear way to understand.
I recommend it for everyone. It's so worth it.

This is indeed a quick (70 pages) and easy guide to asexuality, and some of the spectrum identities; the authors themselves calling it an “extremely basic introduction into the topic”. Most of this, I already knew, so I would say this book is better for people just starting their research of “asexuality/aromanticism”, who are looking for fundamental, easy explanations from two own-voices authors, with the addition of drawings, before intensifying their research with other books or online. One thing though I didn’t, and can’t, agree with is their last part. First, they talk about how asexuals find it hard to fit in, to find a place where they belong and feel valid, and then they go and say in their last part that there is no right answer to the question whether the “A” in LGBTQIA+ stands for “all the As” meaning “agender, aromantic, asexual” or if it’s for “Ally”. The acronym assembles the queer sexualities and gender identities; which “Ally” obviously isn’t. The A stands for Asexual, Agender, Aromantic. Excluding asexual, etc. people from yet another space isn’t helpful, especially as they are still facing a lot of discrimination (aphobia) in real life and online. They also have the right to belong, feel valid, feel seen.

Like all the Quick & Easy Guides To, I love this book. I wish I could afford to buy extra copies and hand it out to people. At the least I'll be buying a copy for my daughter so she can have the complete library as reference material as she grows up.

This book goes through asexuality, aromanticism, the difference between identity and actions (so important!), and how these all live on a spectrum instead of a black and white duality. It also reviews how they interact with other identities such as gender identity and sexual orientation. It also covers the need for more education and representation of asexuality in general, since we do not acknowledge it much in our society.

This is a valuable addition to anyone's library. I'd especially recommend it to anyone with children, anyone working in education or with the public, and especially anyone in healthcare.

This book really is what it's title says it is: a quick and easy guide to asexuality. It matched my expectations very well. The book is written in comic books style and the writing is very conversational. It sets the frame for what asexuality is while also debunking several myths that exists around asexuality as well. As mentioned in the book, there is not a lot of information on or representation of the experiences connected to being asexual out there - which is obviously as shame and something that should be rectified. Seeing as this is our status quo I do think a book like this is needed - an easily accessible, quickly read introduction created by two asexual people who just want to get more information out there, for everyone.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.

I found this guide basic and a little bit too generalised. As an asexual person I think it’s a little dangerous to be too vague about these things. The artwork is also not to my taste.
I would also say it becomes a little too preachy. Just me but I don’t love this guidebook as a representation of my sexuality and it felt a little more like a memoir than helpful to covering most people.

How much do you know about Asexuality? A little? A lot? Nothing? Then this book is for you! Whether you want to learn more about asexuality for yourself, a friend, family, or just general curiosity, this book beautifully breaks down the basics of asexuality.
Writer Molly Muldoon and cartoonist Will Hernandez not only give readers more clinical and textbook definitions of what encompasses the asexuality spectrum, but they further describe their own experiences with asexuality and highlight how differently people can experience asexuality.
They touch upon many different aspects of asexuality and answer many of the common questions most people have using varying metaphors and descriptions that are simple and easy to understand.
I was overjoyed reading this book, as someone who has only in the last year started to identify as ace, this made me feel seen and loved. Furthermore, if you think you know everything, I am here to tell you, you don't. I found out the unofficial symbols for asexuality are not only cake but axolotls as well! I love axolotls, they are absolutely adorable and I definitively claim them.
I will be recommending this book to anyone that will listen to me. It is short, it is informative, and the format is very welcoming. Can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy!

This is an incredible resource and guide for not only kids but adults alike. It makes understanding asexuality accessible and bite sized. This was incredibly healing to read!

Amazing in every sense of the word. Asexuality is often ignored and forgotten about, but the trials and tribulations that the community goes through is harrowing. I adored the representation in this book, it is long needed and much appreciated.

A quick and easy and helpful understanding of the ACE umbrella. Along with answering some typical FAQ.

I learnt the term asexual a few years ago and the more I learnt the more I realised that I could relate. This graphic novel explains asexuality and aromantic as well as the misconceptions - a lot of which I’ve heard a lot and even told myself through doubt.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about asexuality, whether to help better understand their own identity or to just better educate themselves on the terms.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality by Molly Muldoon in exchange for an honest review.

A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality by Molly Muldoon is a new release that's a wonderful handbook explaining the Asexual spectrum. This book is written as a conversational graphic novel which makes the information super approachable and interesting. The author explains the different kinds of asexuality in a clear manner that pairs wonderfully with the cartoons by Will Hernandez. I think this book is important for showing how difficult it can be to be Ace and how each Ace person has different preferences and comfort levels with regard to romance and relationships. This book would be a fantastic addition to any schools, counselors, or families shelf.


A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality is a five star read that explores the intricacies and importance of Asexuality in the LGBTQIA community.

I simply loved the concept of the book. The drawings were so lovely and I believe this is such a nice way to educate people! I would definitely recommend it to friends who want to learn more about the subject themselves. I truly believe it makes learning more fun, as opposed to having to google this type of information. Plus, personal anecdotes also help people connect and understand what's being discussed better, and it's harder to come across that while googling. Overall, I liked that it was a fun, short, but nonetheless an eye-opening graphic novel!

I requested A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality from Netgalley because I was curious. Asexuality has come up in the books or social media I have read but have not understood what it means.

I found the book answered my questions. The few remaining were answered by using the resources listed at the end of the book. The author and illustrators both identify as asexual. It was nice to have the contents explained by people who live it. I liked how the illustrations helped me to understand the text better. I hope others who are curious or searching find this book useful. I did.

The book covers:
* What is Asexuality
* The Spectrum of Asexuality
* Asexuality and Aromanticism
* Dating While Asexual
* Growing Up Ace
* Ace Stereotypes
* The "A" is LGBTQIA+
* Resources - including books on asexuality, websites, resources, and forums

Thank you NetGalley and Limerence Press for the e-copy of the book.
This book was really interesting, it was pretty good and I liked how the book explained simply and the fact that it was a graphic one. I don’t really know what to say, but I learned a lot and it was easy to read. Everyone can read it, easy to understand.
Also, the drawings were simple but so good, and the colors concords with the book

Unfortunately despite requesting this... last year? I wasn't granted a copy until a week off it's expiry date, which is a little bit ridiculous. It has now expired because I was not given enough time to read it but I have to review every book I get or my ratio will never hit 100%. The 5 star rating is simply because I can't leave a review without rating.

This is a short graphic novel which does what it says on the tin. It is a good introduction to asexuality and condenses a very large topic into something that is easy to understand. It is very much an entry into the subject, but it does manage to cover a lot despite being so short. It covers pretty much everything I could think about, although if you want more detail, you would need to look elsewhere.

I especially like how it emphasises that everyone is different, even people who use the same labels, and the need for communication within relationships.

The art style is ok, although not my favourite. The comic book style does mean that the information is expressed in a more interesting, more accessible way than just a wall of text.

Overall, it's a good little book.
