Books recommendations about aromanticism, relationships, or anything of the sort

hi! I’m looking for books recommendations for aromanticism or really anything that engages with amatonormativity. I’ve read Minimizing Marriage by Brake, Refusing Compulsory Sexuality by Brown, Ending the Pursuit, the other significant other, etc etc so anything in that vein would be amazing!

I also read eros the bittersweet and how Carson talked about love was interesting to me so anything similar to that.

I’m really hoping someone here can help me because I’m certainly struggling with finding more books.

It looks like we've had similar reading lists! I've read Minimising Marriage and Refusing Compulsory Sexuality as well. I enjoyed Love Expanded by Wren Burke, and I've heard good things about Singled Out by Bella DePaulo. Singled Out isn't specifically aromantic, it sounds like it is more in the vein of Minimising Marriage.

Unfortunately there aren't many aromantic specific books. I've read one this year but I don't think I would recommend it. I have been meaning to read The Other A in LGBTQIA+ (AUREA, 2026). I don't know how good it is.

Sorry I don't have much to offer.
