Over a summer working at the local library, Alice falls for Takumi, who ticks all the boxes for her when it comes to aesthetic attraction. She’s Black (which her parents are obviously aware of) and queer (which her parents are not) and fresh off a relationship that ended because her girlfriend wasn’t comfortable with Alice’s asexuality or lack of interest in sexual intimacy. This is a bumpy, uneven book, with parts that shine and parts that make me go hmm.Īlice doesn’t want to go to law school, but she isn’t sure what else to do with her life, and her parents really, really want her to follow the family tradition.
Claire Kann doesn’t make it easy for Alice (or for the reader, for that part). Let’s Talk About Love is in many ways your classic coming-of-age YA/ NA tale of a protagonist discovering more about herself, her sexuality and romantic identity, and her relationships with her friends. Always excited to read a book with any kind of ace-spec rep.
