Loveless by Alice Oseman
5.0
i am absolutely in love with loveless and georgia’s entire journey to finding herself, identifying herself, and accepting and understanding herself. as someone who struggled figuring out my identity for a long time before landing on panromantic demisexual, i felt so seen while reading georgia’s story.
i always feel so seen in alice’s works and i cannot thank them enough for the important stories she tells. i wish i had things like heartstopper and loveless when i was a teen, but i’m so glad to have them now and that teens now have such wonderful stories to see and find themselves in.
also georgia and rooney’s relationship was my favorite thing about this book.
(spoiler warning starting here)
i was sobbing actual tears to the point i couldn’t read through my tears and had to calm down to proceed during the whole part of georgia thinking rooney left and abandoned her only for rooney to go into this whole speech of how she wants to be georgia’s special person, like a platonic soulmate / queer platonic partner. literally so so so well written (the whole book was, of course), but that part took the cake for me. i felt every emotion.
