An asexual AND interracial romance?? 
 We Awaken quite literally brings "the girl of your dreams" to life. It has this nice, surreal tone and some fun fish out of water scenes! 
 So I'll start off by saying this is an insta-love story. I've never been a huge fan of love at first sight, BUT there are plenty of scenes that build up their chemistry. They could be distracting from the main plot-line at times ...but they were super cute, so I'm not complaining! 
 The ending... well, without giving too much away, it has a really bittersweet take on grief that'll stick with me. Sounds dark, but this was a surprisingly light read - never feeling too heavy despite the heavy topics brought up. (view spoiler)[I do wish that her brother's coma had a little more relevance (like if we got more details of the accident through their unique communication). Other than bringing the cast together and dying at the end, he didn't do much at all. It's not really his story though, but it did set up a semi-misleading premise. That all being said, I was still happy with the story we did end up with. It just feels like missed potential for his backstory. (hide spoiler)] 
 Any-who, I'm really hoping to see more books like this. I'm demisexual, so it's nice to have characters to relate to in a way. It's huge. And super progressive. 
 Now you must excuse me; this story contained an adorable scene with a blanket fort... and I'm compelled to go make one now.
