books with ace/ace (or ace/arospec) relationships!
this is NOT about QPRs, though a couple of these are ambiguous in definition - I personally don't label a fictional relationship a QPR if it's not like, clearly discussed as a QPR without romantic interpretation, though ymmv
Little Thieves - YA fantasy trilogy, demi/demi m/f
A Letter to the Luminous Deep - sff duology, 2 ace-coded MCs (/4), m/f
Princeweaver - high fantasy, 2 demi-aroace MCs, m/m
Aces Wild - YA contemporary, all-ace friend group, ace/ace m/nb
Love Points To You - YA contemporary - ace MC, demi LI, f/f
It Sounds Like This - YA contemporary, questioining ace MC, grey-aroace possibly love interest (m/f) (it's more pre-relationship/a crush if anything? I've seen people interpret it queerplatonically so ymmv)
Someone You Can Build A Nest In - ace/ace f/f (one is monstery ace, one human ace)
More Than Enough - cozy fantasy romance, ace/ace m/m (have seen some qpr interpretations but didn't read that way to me?)
Fourth World trilogy - YA sci-fi, demi boy x ace girl
Hallowed Be Her Flesh - cosmic horror/erotica, 2 ace MCs (human & nonhuman)
The Sound of Stars - YA scifi, demi-ace MC, acespec LI
Poisoned Primrose - cosy mystery series, ace/ace m/f
A Milky Way Home - demipan ace nb / demidemi woman
We Awaken - YA paranormal, ace/ace f/f
Six Angry Girls - YA contemporary, ace/ace f/f subplot
Upside Down - NA romance, gay ace/ace m/m
The Tale That Twines* - 70s-esque cozy high fantasy, demi-aroace/grey-aro (both agender) (okay, this is ace/arospec not ace/ace, but maybe still of interest)
(note also that there's maybe a couple more in the romance genre I just...don't read much in the romance genre)

I already send in Jack Shannon from Aces Wild by Amanda Dewitt, but all his friends - Remy, Gabe, Georgia, and Lucky - are also canonically ace, with Gabe being canonically aroace!
Remy, Georgia, and Lucky from Aces Wild are asexual!
Gabe from Aces Wild is aroace!
Books of 2025: ACES WILD by Amanda DeWitt.
This was a lot of fun! It's about an all-asexual online friend group attempting to break into a high-stakes gambling club in Vegas (to figure out what one organized-crime-tied casino mogul has on a second crime-tied casino mogul that put her in jail, the latter of whom happens to be the main character's mom).
I really enjoyed this. Jack (who, yeah, runs an illegal blackjack ring at his prep school)(I love him) is a much more believable 17 than, say, Kaz Brekker, and his narration regularly had me giggling (affectionate). I appreciated the variety of flavors of Being Ace (aro! nonbinary! dating neutral and averse! crushing and in denial!) and how those discussions were centered among the friend group, and I liked the sibling relationships, too. Very fun book, very Vegas, do recommend!
me vs liking things that have little to no fandom WTF
