Demi and Ace 1: My Last Time

A funny and moving audio series about how weird love is.

What does romance look like through the eyes of an aromantic person? Demi & Ace is an insightful series of six audio stories about the weird way people tend to act around each other.

Demi and Ace, two best friends, are demi and asexual. Together, they try to make sense of the peculiar ways the modern-day relationships work. Why does the world seem so overly influenced by the hunger for romance? In these sharp, fresh stories the author Laura Eklund Nhaga shows how huge a role romance and love play in the world even in the 21st century. Her writing is funny and thought-provoking and it offers a fresh angle to the tradition of romcoms and other modern stories about relationships. In the second story of the audio series, we meet Ace who’s used to being successful but wasn’t always sure whether that meant having to have lots of boyfriends and sex as well. So, when was the last time those were a part of her life, then?

Laura Eklund Nhaga is an activist, a spoken word artist, a writer and an actor. She’s also the Finnish translator of poet Amanda Gorman.
