Alice Osaman is a very talented author, I adore the heartstopper series! Although when I read one of her books before this one and I found I didn't really get on with it, which I was sad about as I really love her graphic novels. So when I went to read this book I was a little hesitant that I wouldn't like it, but I was excited to read a point of view I haven't read before. And I loved it! The characters were fun, I enjoyed reading a realistic view of university in the UK, and I enjoyed Alice Osaman's writing a lot more in this book than the previous one I had read. 

But the thing I enjoyed most about this book, was reading about a lesser known sexuality. I think it's really important we learn and understand these stories, so we can connect and understand people a lot better. Would suggest!

New Adult. Takes place in uni. I loved this book, it was a struggle for me to read because it made me realize that I’m AroAce. I would give it 5 stars but some of the book was a bit cringy.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! As an asexual person, it was so comforting to read Georgia’s thoughts as she’s figuring out her feelings. All of the characters are so lovable too - I’d love to spend more time with them in another novel.
I also LOVE grand gestures, and the boat/bridge scene made me tear up because of how beautiful it is.

i’m so incredibly happy i finally read loveless. this one was my first book with an aro-ace mc and i’m very grateful for that because i needed it.
i don’t know how to put my thoughts into words but it was a big relief to read georgia’s thoughts about sex and how alone she felt with everything but also how she questioned if some of her thoughts were even related to her being ace because same!!
i appreciate the setting - very glad to read more books where the characters are in university because the world is missing more of that. i also appreciate all the other characters. they all played such an important part in the story and i was able to relate to most of them at least the tiniest bit. 
i could list all the things i appreciate about each of them but i’m gonna leave it at that. this also protected me from falling into a reading slump so yay to that!!
