A wonderful, sympathetic exploration of various genders and sexual identities. Georgia thought she was an expert on romance, only to discover that she is actually asexual and aromantic. Most of all, this is a beautiful story of friendship and the trials of a first year at university. Georgia and her friends are believable, real characters telling a story I adored.

I kept having to put down this book and take a moment because every one of Georgia's milestones in discovering her aro-ace identity were nearly beat for beat my own. I feel so lovingly, astoundingly, kind of uncomfortably seen by this book, and by Alice Oseman.
Her wonderful additions of mentor characters at different stages of their self acceptance journeys was everything I wished for (and still wish for, tbh)
I love this book. I knew, going into it, that I was not alone - not the only ace or aro-ace person in the world, but after reading this book, I feel less alone in a far more profound way.
I want to try going dancing now, again, with friends and without the weight of sexual or romantic expectations like Georgia. I think I'd like it too.

I picked this book up after my partner had read it and was telling me about the ace/aro rep and when I say that I have never felt so seen in a book! I was genuinely emotional while reading this book. I wish for every person regardless of age to read this cause I think that this could help so many people find themselves.

Parts of this did bore me, but I give it a high ranking because A) parts were great, and B) it’s the first book I’ve ever read about asexually and aromanticism. Children and adults need more access to books like this so that we can be more understanding of each other and ourselves. This book did a great job of taking me on the journey of trying to understand what an asexual or an aromantic might go through in a heteronormative world. We come in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, hearts, and brains, and all of it, all of us are normal. Bravo to the writer and the publisher!
