thinking about Gabe Gutiérrez Aces Wild. our first impression is of him arguing that dogsledding is a metaphor for love. he's aroace. his best friends are all on Discord. he met several of them on a star wars oc forum. he's 6'3 and lanky and loves to be sparkly. he's the funniest motherfucker alive. he helps his friend do major crimes for fun. his friends are pining over each other so he sets them up for an undercover fake relationship that they both get mad at him for. he sets up his own fake relationship that is a delightful con with a full backstory and has zero romantic undertones. he gives his best friend relationship advice and when questioned about his ability to do so, says "coaches don't play" with terminal seriousness. he's bad at blackjack. he nearly threw hands with a 14 year old. i love him so much.

#him and georgia's fake dating shenanigans were so good #also i need to make one of these abt lucky too shes SOOOOO #aces wild #aces wild: a heist #mossy speaks #gabriel gutiérrez

okay, lesson learned, if your mutual invites you and all of your asexual mutuals to a fully paid vacation in las vegas, it's probably secretly a heist

aces wild: a heist

by amanda dewitt

i really liked this book!

i enjoyed the dynamics between jack and his friend group. they were all very interesting characters, and i liked that jack was deeply flawed. did he make bad choices? constantly. but i still thought that he wanted to do better, and was overall a good person when his true character had the space to shine through. jack's narration and the character interactions all added some humour to the story, which i loved. dewitt's writing style allows for jack's narration to have a distinctive tone, which i thought was really fun—it was like i could hear him telling the story to me.

the aspec rep was very important to me, and i thought it was well-done. it made me want an aspec friend group even more than i already did. each of the characters also had different experiences across the romantic and gender spectrums, which alluded to the fact that being ace is not a monolith. i liked that everyone was already confident in their ace identity, so there was space for ace jokes and other nods to ace culture. could dewitt have gone into more depth about the nuances of the spectrum? yes. but i don't think that was necessary, or even very possible considering the amount of information there would be to cover.

now i can't wait to read dewitt's second book wren martin ruins it all when it comes out this year!

⭐️4.5/5

Book Review #72 of 2023--

Aces Wild: A Heist by Amanda DeWitt. Rating: 3.75 stars.

Read from June 6th to 8th.

My local Barnes & Noble was having a ridiculous half off sale because that location is closing down to move to a different town. (I talked to the manager of the store about it and there were a ton of reasons for the move, but that’s not the point of this review.) And as I was browsing through every single shelf that still had books on it I stumbled upon this one. I loved the title for two reasons: 1) hey, I’m asexual and this is hilarious, 2) I will read about anyone pulling off a heist. Me, you, your mother. I don’t care who is heisting I just wanna see it happen. (Probably the reason my favorite show of the past few years has been Leverage.) Then I came to find out that this book is about an all asexual group of teens pulling off a heist in Las Vegas. Let’s fucking go.

I loved the Vegas-ness of it all. It really reminded me of the first couple seasons of the original CSI where you got to see the ins and outs of Las Vegas while not getting too star struck by the bright lights and big city of the strip. I loved following Jack and seeing him weave his way in and out of the showy side of Vegas and the behind the scenes. I also really enjoyed seeing how this group of asexuals who all met online while discussing fandom and “what is wrong with me” meeting in real life and seeing that the bonds of online friendship do still hold in real life. We also had teenagers actually acting like teenagers. Instead of the shitty thing that’s been happening in publishing lately which is to write an Adult novel and then age down all the characters so it gets categorized as a YA. These teens act like teens, make poorly thought out plans like teens, fight like teens, talk like teens. It was really refreshing to see that.

All of that being said though...that heist was kind of not great. I know the overarching plot requires the group to fail and try again. But the whole time I thought there was going to be some major twist in the plan or something that the reader couldn’t see but that the characters could pull off to make it work. Again, this all makes sense for the plot and for the fact that it’s about a bunch of teenage kids trying to pull a heist against a major casino owner on the Las Vegas strip. Like, it was never going to run smoothly. The twist that actually happened at the end of the novel wasn’t a surprise to me at all, but I didn’t mind it. I liked seeing how it would all play out. Overall, it was a super fun and easy read with some great asexual representation without making the book all about them being asexual.
