I'm so glad that I picked up this very lovely book again. Alice Oseman writes very realistic British teens and young adults, and I adored the portrayal of going to university and figuring your life out. There's this pressure to fit in and you end up comparing yourself to everyone else, thinking they're so grown-up and exciting. But really most of us are scared.

Loved all of this. The friendships. How the book handled coming out and figuring out your sexuality. Just all of it.

Update March 2021

Now I'm not in such a horrible reading slump I'm going to revisit this because I think I will love it. December was just a really bad month.

Probably in April because I need an entire Grishaverse reread this month plus I've got a couple of ARCs to go through.

December 2020

Oof my third DNF in December. This has not been a good reading month. I definitely think this is a case of "it's not you, it's me," with this book. I'll probably read and enjoy it next year when I'm over whatever is making reading so difficult at the moment. I was enjoying it until suddenly I wasn't enjoying anything.

I think I expected too much. A lot of people find loveless the best Alice oseman book but I have to disagree. It’s definitely not bad, I loved it so so much but It’s just not as relatable as the others. I think if you’re aro/ace you will enjoy it more and would feel so seen. I think Alice did a fantastic job with representing struggling with finding your sexuality. I loved the side story of Pip and Rooney it’s just so beautiful. Loveless showed me that having friends around you is the most important thing in the world. I loved seeing Rooney and Georgia become so close and I felt kind of sad because I’ve been longing for such thing my whole life and I can’t seem to find it. This book is so sex positive and has a strong focus on friendships and different skin colours.The diversity is just amazing. Alice did such an amazing job with Georgia’s journey from frustration to confusion to self-acceptance regarding her sexuality it’s just so beautifully written. It was such a great read.

Alice oseman made me feel incredibly understood with her books and characters. If Nick, Charli, aled , tori, Frances and angel Were One person it would be me. Each of them has this thing they’re struggling with and I just feel so understood and accepted. Her characters made made me feel like I’m not the only one struggling through my teenage years. it’s not gonna be the last time that I’m going to read her books and I’m incredibly heartbroken that I finished all of her books. I feel so grateful that I found escapism in her books . I just cannot understand how she can represent teenagers so well. Her books brings you such a comfort and a safe environment when you’re reading which I have never felt so strong before. I’m so thankful for what these books showed me and taught me.
