Loveless by Alice Oseman

3.0

---

Had to put my nose to the grindstone and finish this before book club tonight, lol. But I liked it! A friend warned me that the portrayals of sexualities (especially pansexuality) were a bit stereotypical, and I can see what she meant, but I didn't necessarily think the portrayals were offensive; the pansexual character's hypersexuality, for example, has more to do with her backstory than just herself. Anyway, I thought this book was very sweet and earnest and even if it felt at times like a cheesy teen romcom-without-the-rom, I never disliked it. It's a great book for anyone to read, but especially if you suspect you might be asexual or have a loved one who is and you want to better understand them. Or, y'know, for queer book club. :P
