I honestly loved this book. Georgia is a amazing character and it’s AMAZING aroace rep. It was a bit boring and hard to get threw so it took me nearly 4 months to get threw it

this book has embedded itself into my soul

Sexual identity stuff aside, the characters were so self-invovled I got no sense of who they were outside of their relationships to one another. Got quarter way through.

If I had read this when I was 16, it would have changed my life and I would have rated it a million stars. Reading it at age 40, I'm deducting one star out of five for intense emotional distress. This is a story about an 18 year old girl who loves love and slowly discovering that she's aromantic and asexual. She thought she was going to live a loveless life, not realising that she was living the greatest love story of all - platonic love.

Beautifully written and much needed aro-ace representation.
Love it! 
The characters are super authentic and the pacing is fantastic.
I'm a big Shakespeare fan, so theater and Shakespeare playing such a big role in the book makes it a total win.

Also, as often as it was mentioned in this one, I definitely need to watch Moulin Rouge. I wanted to watch it because of Ewan McGregor, and then I somehow didn't finish watching it because I just remember the beginning. Now that I'm reminded of this, it's weird, like maybe I did watch the movie and just can't remember it
