It's so important to me how aro Felicity is in this book. Even though she ends up dating Alex a little bit at the end of the book I really like her as an aromantic character.
She misses a lot of romantic subtext throughout the book and has to think hard about whether or not she likes other characters. She only ends up going out with Alex after discovering that he's read all of her online comic.
To me that really reads as being touched that someone would do that and confusing it with romantic attraction. It seems likely to me that she feels like this makes him a good candidate for a boyfriend or someone she should like romantically and isn't actually attracted to him.
Even if she is romantically interested in him I think she's somewhere arospec. And she's such a great character besides!
