Loveless: książka o Aseksualności i o Aromantyzmie, teraz nie musicie jej czytać. Jest to okej queer nowelka z tym że powiela te same schematy: główny wątek jest typową historią o odkryciu siebie i samoakceptacji i o nieudolnych próbach w dążeniu do celu. Pierwszy side wątek to okropnie sztampowe lesbian Enemies to Lovers, i dosłownie od pierwszego spotkania czuć że będą razem. No a drugi to jest typowe dla coming of agey w highschool/uniwerku robimy projekt, projekt sie jebie, ale w finale i tak nam sie udaje. Niby jest git ale nie warto tbh 6/10
I think I may be aromantic. Or at least on the aromantic spectrum, though I’m not sure where. This is the last book in the osemanverse that I needed to finish, and I put off reading it for ages because I was scared it would resonate with me and I’d have to confront the fact that I’m probably some flavour of aro-ace.
But, as you can see I have read it. And I’m so glad I did.
I’m still not sure where I stand sexuality-wise, but the idea of being aro and/or ace isn’t as daunting anymore, and I have Georgia Warr and Alice Oseman to thank for that.
If you haven’t already read this book, please please do, I will literally recommend it until my breath runs out.

I don't know how to rate this book. On one hand I did like the writing. And the aroace rep is very important. But I didn't like Georgia at all. And when she is the main character, it's a huge problem.
- For a book that's all about platonic magic, she's not a good friend
- She uses Jason as an experiment when she KNOWS he has feelings for her
- Pip, her other best friend talks about how hard it's to be a lesbian and Latinx and she says "I would love to be gay too" WTF
- She constantly judges Rooney, her roommate for having casual sex. She judges everyone for having sex. While she is sex repulsed (the word is never mentioned), I wish she wasn't so judgemental. Rooney could have been an amazing character but then it turns out she's having casual sex only because of her previous abusive relationship. Having a pansexual character admit to having sex only "to fill a hole" feels like a pretty harmful stereotype
- Sunil, another side character who is asexual and non binary. And also Indian, which is basically referenced once. And 'they' is never used even though the "he/they" pin is introduced in the book.
- I didn't like how every character existed just to further Georgia's journey; So many lost opportunities for complex character development
- stupid miscommunication drama and the fact that Georgia never really apologises
-the aroace spectrum is very wide and I feel like it could have explored a lot more.
As a lesbian and an Indian who's still figuring out where I am on the ace spectrum, this book was so not for me.

really good!! definitely a must-read for everybody
I was super excited to read this book because I love Heartstopper but unfortunately I'm DNF'ing. The prose isn't bad but i found the main character a bit whiny and insufferable, mostly because our personalities seems to be the opposite so not the author's fault. This book simply wasn't for me.

One of the best stories about love I've read in a while.
Ps. I hope the personal crisis I had while reading is a universal experience and not just me 🙃
