What I liked:
-ace representation! Specifically aroace, but we also get nonbinary/pan/lesbian rep as well.
-I really enjoyed all the friendship and emphasis on platonic love/QPRs in the book.
-I liked that it was set as a college coming-of-age story instead of a high school one, and even if you’re not ace/aroace the experience of going to college for the first time was super relatable and nostalgic.
-I also liked all the references to pop culture like the Scooby Doo movies and fanfic.
What I didn’t like:
-I don’t love Georgia herself. Idt she’s a bad character, I think it’s just hard when you have shy, wallflower characters who are narrating from first-person (think Bella Swan). They come across as Mary Sues because they’re seeing things from their own eyes and aren’t full of themselves.

Such a beautifully written book with such lovely and relatable characters. And even though this particular topic, asexuality, could be quite heavy Alice has managed to write about it in a happy and positive way that is not too heavy and in a way that makes oneself think about asexuality in a new way.
For me this was a very good book because I have myself been struggling with my sexuality lately, recently realised that I might be pan. But before that I almost thought I might have been asexual but this book helped me to rule out that for myself and it helped me realise that I was pan.
So thank you Alice for having written such a wonderful book!

It wasn’t smart to finish this at 12.30 am. I’m literally crying my eyes out lmao. Finally found a book I can identify with.

This book was a roller coaster every chapter felt like something new was happening (in a good way) and I could not predict the ending at all. This was my first book by this author and I think it was a perfect way to jump into her unique writing style. It was easy to get hooked and Loveless was incredibly hard to put down once I started it.
This was absolutely amazing. It described me perfectly and I felt like someone understood while reading this book. 5 out of fucking 5.

Finally, a book centering a college age, aro-ace protagonist. And it’s well written.., it was everything I wanted (needed) it to be.
