What's better than sex? To Naomi, it's going out with friends for delicious food, winning softball games, and having a whirlwind romance with her close friend. The only problem: despite a decade of friendship, she has yet to come out to him as asexual, and she's unsure if romance with an allosexual guy is even possible with the rotten luck she has had.

Since Kieran's move to a Canadian city miles away from his unsettling past, life has felt dull. Only the near-impossible dream of hooking up with his friend gives him a spark of energy. After failing to win her affection again, he connects with a stranger in a similar situation whose refreshing honesty and unique perspective on relationships intrigue him.   

As Naomi and Kieran's paths cross and they help each other with contrasting goals, will they find happiness or will they want more?

The Riveting Lives of Russell and Sal by RileyKifer

[Newly edited and rewritten!] Russell is a virtuous goth with a Christian upbringing. Sal is a carefree slack-off who would rather work retail than go to college. It was hate at first sight. Until they were forced to partner up in class. After their true feelings surface, Sal learns just how different he is from Russell, and all seems hopeless. How can their relationship last, if Sal is asexual? And that's not their only problem. Surprisingly unpredictable, The Riveting Lives of Russell and Sal is about two social outcasts that become the most unlikely couple imaginable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: There is some foul language and adultish themes. Nothing that requires marking this as mature, but I feel it's worth noting anyway. Winner of the LGBT+ Wattys 2016 for Best Overall Gay Fiction. [Highest rank: #52.]
