I had a boyfriend once, but I never liked being with him the way I like being with you." I held his gaze, refusing to falter or look away." You're one of the best friends I've ever had, Milo.
"I hate it when people talk like friendship is less than other kinds of -as though it's some sort of runner-up prize for people who can't have sex. (Ah, curse you perfect fictional characters for raising my expectations of people.) She's asexual, an alien, she's pretty badass and she's and really good engineer. He backs off when she asks, accepts her for who she is, and he likes cake (bonus!). Let me just say, Milo is pretty awesome about her being asexual. She comes out to her friend Milo who clearly wants more from their relationship, and at the end of the book they embark on a romantic relationship. Thr story is told from the point of view of Tori Beaugrand and, though she features in the previous book, it is only in this book that we learn she is asexual. The whole premise of the books is cool enough to begin with but with an asexual character it just gets better. So, this book, Quicksilver, is a sequel to another book (Ultraviolet) and features an asexual character as the main protagonist. I don't know if anyone has posted about this book before but I'll bring it up again because it is awesome.
