Cultural impact
In the book, Brake coined the neologism term Amatonormativity, defined as "the widespread assumption that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term coupled relationship, and that everyone is seeking such a relationship."[4]
The concept has been particularly impactful for aromantic people, as Amatonormativity is said to be connected to devaluing familial, platonic, and queerplatonic friendships/relationships.[5]
