His being asexual had seen the end of a lot of his romances, but he’s determined to stay true to himself. Hennessy Lang moved to Surry Hills after splitting with his boyfriend. But when he realises adding the label asexual might explain a lot, it turns his world upside down. Gay, geek, librarian, socially awkward, a nervous rambler, an introvert, an outsider. Jordan O’Neill isn’t a fan of labels, considering he has a few. It contains graphic language, and adult situations.Īll trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

What really makes this for me is that chest deep warmth that this drink carries, that is symbolizes so well with N.R.

It’s a gentle and nurturing drink that combines well with a multitude of different things, while still being able to hold its own by itself. It’s a delicate and sensible drink that still holds that capability of kicking your ass. I chose Red Wine (specifically a Cab) for this due to the cleansing aroma and warmth that it brings. It was a refreshing and pleasurable read that felt like the best kind of couch cuddles.

I like the modernization of the language and the blink and you miss it fandom references layered throughout. It’s an eye opening story that expresses the modern anxiety of being LGBT and Something Else. It was a cute and simplistic story that leaned heavily on the understanding of something that hasn’t really been discussed before in a book. The relationship between Jordan and Hennessy is so fresh and perfect with just a sprinkle of awkwardness. This is another one of those books that I wish I had when I was growing up.
