I saw this book on the shelf and became intrigued by the cover and was pleasantly surprised to find that I learned a lot about myself while reading it. I resonated with Georgia’s asexuality and understood her. I enjoyed her friendships and self-discovery. I liked the style of writing, although there were a lot of pop culture references and I am not a fan of that.
My main dislikes were the slow pacing for the first half of the book and the repetitive narration by Georgia- a lot of telling without showing. I felt that the characters fell flat sometimes and could have been better developed, although I loved Rooney; no complaints there. I related to her past relationship trauma and really felt for her.
Overall, this was a pleasant book that made me feel seen. I think this book is miscategorized as YA and seems very firmly New Adult to me. That being said, I would recommend this, but only to older teens and up.

Loveless by Alice Oseman was great! As an Aro/Ace it was really nice to see how some others felt about finding out who they are.

This is the first book by Alice Oseman that I've read . It surprised me . I didn't know what to expect going in and I'm glad I read it . This was a book club book.
Loveless follows Georgia as she and her friends go to university . She always thought she was straight and was going to find love someday . She doesn't know why she can't crush on anyone ,only to realize in her university journey that she's asexual /aromantic . This book follows her journey with her friends , discovering that there are other types of love out there .
I definitely recommend this book. It was insightful and heartwarming .

a pretty basic but enjoyable read. i liked gaining an understanding of how difficult it is to truly be comfortable with your own sexuality, no matter if you choose to label it or not. i won’t lie and say the reminders that georgia read fanfic weren’t a little annoying, but i’m glad they stopped mentioning it once the plot actually ‘started’.

I absolutely loved this book, feeling very seen by Georgia's experiences navigating relationships, university life, and discovering oneself. The writing keeps a quick pace, and the interactions between Georgia and her friends are funny and endearing. I also loved that while the book explained certain identities in the text, it didn't feel preachy, but a natural part of Georgia learning

I really appreciated finally reading a book with asexual/aromantic representation. This encouraged me to really look at my own sexuality and find out I’m demisexual and possibly graysexual (where I fluctuate between ace and allo it seems idk.) so in some ways, I related to Georgia and in other ways I didn’t, but that’s okay because it’s good to know others are being represented. I also love seeing the importance of friendship and platonic love. However, after reading other reviews of the book, I do have to agree that some of the dialogue was way too on the nose (ex: “why is this movie so obsessed with sex? Oh I get it it’s an ace thing haha”) and i also saw other criticizing the book for having POC characters as “token” characters and since I’m white, it’s not something I realized at first, but looking back they did seem a bit one dimensional. I would also have loved to see more dynamic with Georgia and her family, especially her ace cousin, and figuring that all out, instead of put all in one chapter. So all to say, I did enjoy the book and loved the representation, but it wasn’t perfect and could have improved in some ways.
