BOOK REVIEW: Loveless by Alice Oseman💕🌈

5/5⭐️

This was the first novel by Alice Oseman that I read & let’s just say: I have found a new favourite author to add to the list!

"I didn't want to think about love anymore."

Loveless follows Georgia, a self-taught expert of love & romance thanks to her love of fanfics & Disney movies. When it comes to reality, however, Georgia has never been in love or kissed anyone. I loved following her journey of self discovery & acceptance 🌻

Georgia & her friends, Pip & Jason, start attending Durham University together. There, Georgia meets Rooney, her new roommate. The four of them become friends through a mutual interest in theatre.

I loved these characters so much! They all saved each other in their own way & they all went through difficult times but got out the other side stronger together. Another character I truly loved is Sunil for being so caring & patient and doing so much for others.

"I didn't feel sure about anything, & I felt so weird all the time, to the point that I hated myself, being a kid who knew all about sexuality from the internet but couldn't even vaguely work out what I was, couldn't even come up with a ballpark estimate, when everyone else seemed to find it so easy."

This book is so well written! It’s such an enjoyable read, it’s funny & witty, the characters are relatable, realistic & at the same time this book is SO educational! I’ve learned so much regarding asexuality & aromanticism. I truly think this is a book everyone should read, not only because it’s a great book with amazing characters, but also to learn more about asexuality & aromanticism, seeing as it is quite underrepresented in books & films, leading to a lot of misunderstandings & misassumptions.

"And the worst part of it was - even though I'd longed for these things, I knew that they'd never make me happy anyway. The idea was beautiful. But the reality made me sick.”

Loveless also truly highlights the importance of love in all its different forms – romantic love should not be the only or most important form of love. We need to appreciate & value the love between friends, family etc. as well.
