Every Asexual Character in 2018 YA

12/29/2018

Comments

2018 has been an amazing year for ace-spectrum characters in young adult fiction. We've gotten ace stories in romance, fantasy, sci-fi, historical, mystery, and every genre in between. There has been romantic ace rep, aromantic ace rep, and demisexual rep. We've had more stories by ownvoices ace authors than ever before and they are telling stories that are so, so important to ace readers. 

Unfortunately, even though asexual representation is getting much more common, it is still sometimes hard to find out which books feature asexual characters. Reviewers often forget to mention ace rep in their reviews and too often these books fly under the radar. To combat this, I've complied a list of every ace-spectrum character I could find in 2018 young adult fiction. This includes main characters, love interests, and side characters. I've also included links to reviews by ace-spectrum reviewers so that you can read their thoughts about each of these books.  

Please be aware that the fact that I included a book in this list does not mean the representation is good. A few of the books have very mixed or negative reviews so I urge you to check those out before you read them yourself if you are worried about poor representation. I included as many links to reviews by ace-spectrum readers as I could find to help you gauge which books are beneficial and which are harmful to ace readers. 

Don't forget to check out the end of the post to enter to win any YA book featuring an asexual character!
