Do you ever feel alienated by the way society presents love? Maybe you find the idea of romantic relationships off-putting, or maybe it’s just ‘not your thing’. Sound familiar? Aromanticism is a spectrum of identities where people have little to no interest in romance, or only feel attraction under certain circumstances.
This essential book weaves together insights and perspectives from aromantic people across the world, sharing their stories of self-discovery and community. Chapters explore how aromanticism interacts with mental health, dealing with stigma or dismissive attitudes, intersection with different cultural expectations, and more.
Whether you’re new to an aromantic identity, have been part of the community for years, or just want to know more, this book will help you understand what aromanticism is and what it means for you.

This book is not only the perfect introduction to the aro person's experience of aromanticism, but also to what it means to be aromantic in the world. AUREA offers an expansive, thoughtful and necessary book which belongs on every queer bookshelf.
The Other A in LGBTQIA+ accomplishes so much more than educating on and advocating for aromantic experiences. This book actively shifts perception of what it means to connect within relationships, within communities, and within ourselves.
Through the lens of a diverse group of contributors, The Other A in LGBTQIA+ seamlessly integrates a well-researched yet accessible examination of aromanticism with deeply personal narratives that showcase the real lived experiences of aromantic-spectrum individuals. Written for the most well-informed aro and the novice ally alike, readers of all stripes have something to learn from this book.
