This was really fun, I loved it! The writing was clever and the pacing was great. I know some people were annoyed by Jughead's dreams, but I thought they were really fun. I can't help but relate to Jughead, I too was once a high school student who hated high school, had crap grades, was really bizarre and off the wall, and hey! Asexual too.

Speaking of that, it should be noted that Jughead is Asexual AND Aromantic. Which is valid, and a very needed representation for the community! However if you are reading this and don't know that, please know that there are romantic asexuals and aromantic asexuals. Jughead is of the latter variety. It was nice to read something high school related that wasn't all about everyone discovering sex and relationships.

I deducted 1 star, because as small as a moment it was, I really didn't appreciate the little dig at veganism through Veronica at Pop's. I'm very tired of people talking about veganism like it's a rich hipster thing, when in reality most of the poor world is vegetarian and vegan because they can't afford meat. The only reason meat is affordable in the western world is because it's heavily subsidized by the government. Also, I'm tired of people making digs at me and other vegans because we care about animals and the environment. It's an animal rights and environmentalist movement, not a diet.

All in all, I loved it! Looking forward to reading more wacky adventures featuring a wacky asexual. That's all I want sometimes, really.

EDIT: I wanted to add that I wish this was around when I was in high school. I discovered the term asexual the year I graduated high school, but only after I graduated. I came upon the term by a fluke. Maybe, if there had been representation like this when I was in high school, it would've saved me a lot of heartache and tearful nights. I know it sounds dramatic, but I really think that. Anyway, I really recommend it.
