Thanks to Pride Book Tours for the free advance copy of this book.
- LOVELESS is such a wonderful and important book. Not only is it simply a great YA novel - coming of age, found family, figuring out who you are away from your family - but it also showcases a wide range of queer identities, including multiple characters on the aromantic and asexual spectrums. If I'd had a book like this when I was a teenager, it would have made such a difference. I don't match Georgia's identity exactly but some passages were a punch to the chest with how closely they matched my own experiences, which is still rare for me to find in books.
- Georgia and her friends are such a wonderful crew, loving each other deeply while still getting into fights and misunderstandings, because that's how life works, especially when you're 18 and your life is changing.
- I love any book that shows there are many life paths outside the single path of straight hetero marriage we are all presented with, and LOVELESS in particular also gets into how vital - and loving - friendship can be.
- I...just...the idea of teenagers finding this book and finding themselves in it makes me cry. Please read it.
