If there was an option to add a million star rating for this book, I'd give it that. That's how much I loved this book. Again, this is a purely personal rating, since Georgia's story sang to me like it was my own song. Her love for her friends made me miss my soulmates too.
I felt ecstatic that finally someone in the World has written a book that tells me that there's nothing wrong with me and nothing that I need to fix. But I also felt a bit sad that it took me so long to figure this out. If only someone had written this story twenty years back, a lot of heartbreak could've been saved. But well, I'm still grateful that others like me will have a chance to realise that if they feel indifferent towards romance or sex or both, then there's nothing wrong with them. That's just who we are.
This review feels like a coming out post to me. But I don't want to make it that. Since I'm still discovering many things about myself and I want to be fluid. I don't want specific labels to define me all the time but I'm glad that someone came up with these labels to tell people like me that we're alright and that we deserve to be loved in our own way :)
So an absolutely humungous thank you to the author Alice Oseman for writing a story about an aro-ace MC and about the magic of platonic love :)
