As much as I loved this and it made me laugh out loud and it made me feel like I was being hugged, there is one thing that bothers me (and it could be considered a spoiler): usually in the media asexuality is associated with robots and stuff like that. So having an asexual character was great! But having him falling in love with a robot bothered me. I think it would be better not to have a romance than to represent an asexual being in love with, basically, a being with no gender as if that is the option that asexual people have. I know that the book is not “be all” but it still bothers me
