- Didn’t like the glaring lack of descriptions. Wren in ace, he’s not blind he can definitely describe someone’s general physical appearance
- The plot sucked. It was obvious that
Leo was BB because everything about this book is predictable, and the characters’s personalities aren’t charming enough to make up for the poor plot - I feel like Wren’s asexuality was glossed over. He could’ve been allo and the book would’ve remained… the same? My opinion on this would’ve been different had
Leo also been asexual, but he isn’t, he’s allo, so shouldn’t they have had A Conversation about the fact that Wren, a presumably sex-repulsed asexual, will probably not want to do anything sexually intimate with Leo, who’s allo and presumably will want to have sex and stuff??? - The ace representation just felt very, very surface level idk!
