Literature

Characters Work Author Years Description
Julian Deadly Sweet Lies[a] Erica Cameron 2015 Cameron, an asexual author,[3] says that Julian is "100% a confirmed ace character."[4][5] She was glad to include a scene in the book where he has "a personal epiphany about his asexuality."[6]
Tom This Song Is Not For You Laura Nowlin 2016 Tom, one of the book's protagonists, is interested in Ramona romantically but not sexually, and he eventually tells her that he is asexual, as he struggles to accept the bounds of his new identity.[7] One reviewer noted that this book is unique because it is rare that there are asexual characters in young adult fiction, if when readers "see romantic relationships handled the way they are here."[7]
Nancy Every Heart A Doorway Seanan McGuire The protagonist of this book, Nancy, is asexual, and is, as such, "part of an increasing number of ace leads in fantasy and science fiction in recent years," as one reviewer puts it.[8] At one point, Nancy says "I'm asexual. I don't get those feelings" and she has an asexual crush on her trans classmate, Kade.[9]
