hadleysmis's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

The beginning made me dislike the main character and the narrating voice so much that I just didn't want to continue. I know you're confused, but you literally set someone on fire 😭

Really enjoyed this and related to some experiences from when I was that age. A bit more critical reflection would be nice (like on why society is so sex-obsessed), but it is a YA book so I don't hold that against her too much.

Alice Osemans books are always a comfort to read

i'm kind of speechless. this book was just sO FUCKING GOOD

i have been waiting to get this book ever since it came out in july 2020, but i kind of procrastinated getting my hands on it until i saw the us edition cover, and i was like "holy shit alice oseman drew this cover i want it SO BAD, i am willing to wait until november 2nd for this cover"

but then it was POSTPONED sadly to february 2nd, so i just ended up buying the UK edition from book depository HAHA

but god, this book was so witty and wonderful and it gave me the same feeling as stepping out into warm sunlight. i'm so in love with anything alice oseman creates, and loveless was no different--her words feel like home. needless to say, i read this book in less than two days and now i'm emotionally devastated.

i absolutely love every single character--georgia is so relatable and honestly inspiring, pip & rooney are hilarious and vibrant, and jason & sunil are so sweet <3 the aro and ace rep actually made me cry at one point, especially in that one scene where georgia and ellis were in the car eating mcdonalds on christmas eve--it's just, wow, i feel so seen. it feels so liberating, like i'm flying. can't stop thinking about these characters, about the words of this book, about shakespeare plays and cold fall mornings in historical english universities. loveless makes me want to love myself--it makes me love asexuality, it makes me love love.

"are they also..?
"they're asexual too."
"wow." ellis grinned. "well, that makes three of us."
"there are more," i said. "a lot more. out there. in the world."
"really?"
"yeah."
ellis stared out the window, smiling. "that would be nice. if there were lots out there."


give alice oseman all the stars, ALL OF THEM. every part of me feels black, gray, white, purple <3

oh my god i want to read this so bad BUT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 2 FOR THE US EDITION (I REALLY WANT THE US EDITION TT)
am literally marking my calendar rn
