For fans
of Love, Simon and I Wish You All the Best, a
funny, honest, messy, completely relatable story of a girl who realizes that
love can be found in many ways that don’t involve sex or romance.
From the marvelous author of Heartstopper comes an exceptional
YA novel about discovering that it’s okay if you don’t have sexual or romantic
feelings for anyone . . . since there are plenty of other ways to find love and
connection.
This is the funny, honest, messy, completely relatable story of Georgia, who
doesn’t understand why she can’t crush and kiss and make out like her friends
do. She’s surrounded by the narrative that dating + sex = love. It’s not until
she gets to college that she discovers the A range of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum —
coming to understand herself as asexual/aromantic. Disrupting the narrative
that she’s been told since birth isn’t easy — there are many mistakes along
the way to inviting people into a newly found articulation of an always-known
part of your identity. But Georgia’s determined to get her life right, with the
help of (and despite the major drama of) her friends.
The Review 📚 Loveless
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + 🐢
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- This book was getting a little bit of buzz so I wanted to check it out. Thanks to @scholasticinc and @jaimerockstarbooktours for letting me participate in this blog tour and reading this book. Please check out the others participating on my blog!
💜 What I liked:
- The characters in this book were so unique and usually misrepresented. While Georgia spends a lot of this novel discovering who she is, the mood is never dark or depressing. It really opened my eyes to what it means to be aromantic or asexual.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- It took me a bit to really dive into this book, but I was also in a reading slump so It wasn’t a big thing. But once I got in, the book took me away.
🚦 My face at the end: 🥰
