I FINALLY READ LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE!

TW: Acephobia, harassment, toxic friendship all are mentioned. You can see a full list of trigger warnings here: https://booktriggerwarnings.com/Let%27s_Talk_About_Love_by_Claire_Kann

 My second Claire Kann book!

 Let's Talk About Love is about the biromantic asexual college student Alice, who just broke up with her girlfriend and (now also ex) roommate Margot. She tries to forget about the breakup by moving in with her now engaged childhood friends Feenie and Ryan, bingewatch her favorite shows and write essays on them, and chow down on her favorite foods. She is also trying to find out what to major in at college. Her family wants her to go into law because that's what they all do, but Alice's interests lie somewhere else.

One day at her part-time job at a local library, they get a new employee named Takumi. The second Alice sees him, she's head over heels! They start hanging out as friends a lot outside of work, but Alice is afraid to come out to Takumi as asexual because she doesn't want a repeat of what happened to her with Margot. She's also afraid of losing her friends Feenie and Ryan. Alice just wants everything to go smoothly!

Once again, it's a YA contemporary romance with a super relatable protagonist. It has great nuanced discussions on being asexual and still having the desire to be in a relationship.

I did give it 4.5 stars, but that was just because there were some things that happened in the story that did make me a little uneasy. Alice dealt with acephobia sometimes. Her friend Feenie is pretty toxic for most of the story, although she does apologize for her actions towards the end (but she was still my least favorite character in the whole book). There is also a scene where Alice gets unfortunately gets harassed at a costume party. Luckily it doesn't last for long, but it's still something to be aware of if you plan to read this.
