The Helpless Romantic: Falling in Love as an Aroace - Paperback

The Helpless Romantic is a journey through finding love as an aromantic asexual. This poetry collection is filled with uncertainty, longing, self-discovery and joy, as love is examined in its various forms.

Ella Keyes narrates their strange relationship with romance. As someone who hasn't experienced attraction before, the arrival of new feelings force them to determine where they stand in relation to themself, and what they want to happen. Grappling with this, the author considers what it means to love, and whether love even needs to be defined. This book navigates the struggles of experiencing emotions that don't fit society's expectations for how to feel. It's a romanticization of the world, self and relationships-a discovery of the many forms of love and the realization that what matters is not how others view your love, but what you choose to do with it.
