From the openly-gay Pip, to gay asexual Sunil, to questioning Georgia, there are so many aspects of the LGBTQ+ community explored and I adored every one. The theme of this novel is sexuality and love, and with this theme comes a cast full of diverse characters.
I was truly blown away to read something so close to home. Their expressions, actions, thoughts and experiences resonated so deeply within me. They were so familiar to me as someone who grew up and went to university in the UK. I saw myself in Georgia, Pip, Jason and Rooney in a variety of ways. Loveless has perhaps one of the most realistic representations of being a teen in the UK (or just being an 18-year-old in general) that I have ever read. 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.
Part of me doesn’t know where to begin with this review: there are so many amazing things to talk about!
