Hardly any books make me actually laugh out loud, but I couldn’t stop chuckling! The discussions the characters had were not only heartfelt, but incredibly sex-positive and funny. Although they could be annoying at times, I think it was only because they were all learning and discovering things about themselves, which only prompted the story to be more realistic and relatable. Give your friendships the magic you would give a romance. These conversations not only made me chuckle, but it taught me a lot about why I am the way I am with relationships and my sex life. Some of the stark and raw conversations Georgia and her friends have about sex were so bold and relatable and we simply need more of this in YA. Almost a year ago, I realised I am demisexual/demiromantic, which means I am only sexually and romantically attracted to people I have an emotional connection with.
Georgia was such a relatable character who was struggling with finding out who she is, which I think is something we have all found in life, whatever sexuality.Īlthough I’m not asexual myself, I found Loveless made me reflect a lot on my own sexuality. I just clicked with it immediately in a way I haven’t with her other books – it captured me from the off and I didn’t want to stop reading. We don’t need to talk about how much I love Alice Oseman, but it has to be said that this is her best writing yet. Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along? With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.Īs she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.īut when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her.
