Oh! I know some really great ones! 

Rose’s Ace Lady Rec List#AceWeek Day 2! 

Young Adult Books:

Tash Hearts Tolstoy: I personally didn’t get into this book because I think it’s because I’m aging out of the target demographic. As a teenager, I think I would have ADORED this book so I always give it a mention. 

Let’s Talk About Love:This book brings me a lot of joy. The publisher was like let’s put ace flag colors on the cover. It features a fluffy college story, heavy and honest ace struggles, a black ace lead and a man of color as the love interest. Probably my favorite YA for aces. 

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy:While technically a book two, this book alone is great and even better if you read the very mlm first book featuring her brother. Felicity is in both, and if you want an aro ace, absolutely pick this gem up. 

The Birds, The Bees, And You and Me: I haven’t actually read this book, but it’s the only YA book maybe the only novel I know that has multiple ace flags on the cover. That’s so wild to me. Anyways, this book looks really interesting and while the main character isn’t ace like the last ones, it’s own voices and again flags!

Technically, You Started It:I l-o-v-e this book. It’s written like a series of texts between two characters and it’s so well done and unique. I actually wrote a review on it here. 

New Adult / Adult:

Soft on Soft: I think this book is the hashtag of like #FatGirlsInLove or something similar, forgive me. It’s fluffy, it’s written by an ace of color about aces so like high marks there.

The only aces in this genre that are women also tend to be romance so I’m less familiar with them. There’s probably another dozen more. So really do check out our database of them. 

In this age range you do have my books which both have non-binary aces but this I made this post female-heavy I’m just not going to include them here. Also in the database though.

Other: 

Unburied Fables:This is a charity anthology with tons of stories, several have ace women of different romance leanings all finding a happily ever after. 

Borderlands: Maya from this video game is ace. It’s not a ton of like on-screen ace content but I think it’s awesome that it was written by an ace and includes an ace.

The Movement:Trevor from this teenage superhero comic is ace, which is pretty cool because it’s an author is a bigger name in the industry so likely a good jumping point if you want to try this style of comic.

Moonlighters:This series is a funny like creature hunting comic, Sue is a fat ace whose just great I wish I could have this in the paperback forum but when I read it was only digital but sooooo worth supporting so we all can have more of it.
