this book is incredibly heartrenching, loving, beautiful, and i cried so many times. oh my god alice you have done it again. this is a work of art. this is one of the only books out there about aroace sexuality. this is one of the best books ever. it captures every single part of the aroace experience and includes education you as well and you read. i loved the pip and rooney scene from their perspectives at the end of the book. you’re a genius, oseman

Gostei bastante desse livro, dos personagens, dos assuntos abordados, das relações.
É tão importante existirem livros assim, que abordam e representam os mais diversos tipos de gêneros, identidades, sexualidades, raças. E Alice faz isso com um primor sem igual, com tamanho respeito e simplicidade que espero que cheguem a cada vez mais pessoas, principalmente ao público alvo mais jovem, para mostrar que há muito mais, há muito além e sempre, sempre há amor, da forma que for

The story takes us through the first year of 4 Durham fresher, 3 of whom are old friends and it tackles expectations around sexuality, romance, what we're supposed to be doing at uni and fitting in and growing up and I think it handles it all in a really great way. The stakes aren't huge but they're real and personal and for anyone who's ever felt a little bit on the outside for any reason it's very relatable.
The characters make mistakes and assumptions and they don't say what they mean even when they want to and they think people are one way when they're actually another and they make all the mistakes that we can except young adults to make and certainly some I've made myself at uni.
Very glad I didn't read this in my actual first year at uni since I was in the covid year and we barely had any irl events and if we did you had to sit in a group of 6 and not move so reading this would have made me very jealous even if the characters aren't always having fun at said events.
I think it can be hard to write a book about a certain period in your life that you've moved in from and have it remain real to the people who then grow into that age bracket because times change and it's easy to make something that doesn't age well or becomes outdated but between this, Radio Silence and Heartstopper these thoughts, feelings and situations all feel very real and it think it reminds its readers of a very important lesson on the significance of friendships that sometimes gets forgotten in a world where everything seems to be gearing towards romance.
This book may be part of the Osemanverse but it's very much a standalone book and can be read as such, and I definitely recommend it if you like books about friendships, coming of age (when they actually are coming of age) or Shakespeare.

I think when a book means so much to you it’s hard to give it an adequate review. Like Mr Knightley said, “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” This book stared into my very soul and made me understand myself in a whole new way, and it gave me so much hope for my future. I laughed and cried and was rendered speechless. I felt like I WAS Georgia.

I do really think that Alice Oseman's books are speaking to me right now.
This books is about a girl who has never got a crush and is in a world full or romance trying to figur out who she is. I absolutely loved to read about a Ace/Aro character who is trying to figur out life. I think my own identity "crisis" plus the "answers" I got from this book can have been a part of giving it such a high score. Some of the parts of Georgias thinking have been similar to my own, but not all! With that I want to clarify that this book helped me figur out more of my self, I might not be Aro/Ace like her, but I know that it can variate over time and thats okay. This book gave me perspective and I really realised how important it is to value friendships, but also one self.
"Loveless" is a book worth reading, I'm really happy I read it. It helped me and hopefully helps others too!
Took me 8 hours and 36 minuts.
