The Alice Oseman literary universe has always been a comfort for me to escape into, and the newest addition to the family, Loveless, proved just as amazing.
Loveless follows university freshman Georgia, as she discovers herself to be aromantic and asexual, learning along the way that meaningful connections are not strictly romantic.
All aspects of this book are amazing! The characters are messy but real, and I felt attached to each member of their found family. I also really loved the idea of using a university setting to explore identity and sexual orientation, and the plot progression really worked well into this.
Overall, this book is SO IMPORTANT, and I cannot stress enough how much I think you should read it (check trigger warnings!)
