One of the many reasons I’d long been excited to read Loveless was for the asexual own voices representation! As someone who’s easily always considered myself ace, I’d rarely read such honest portrayals in books, though I know there’s a fair few books out there that dabble with Ace MC’s, after reading Loveless, I just hasn’t read a book that mirrored my own feelings regarding my sexuality, well lack there of! I’m just so absolutely grateful for this story, it’s just so wonderfully honest and refreshing and more often than not completely raw and heartfelt! Loveless is easily a new favourite of mine! I’d long been excited for Alice Oseman’s newest novel, despite until now not having the joy of reading one of her full length novels! Slight confession, I’ve only read Heartstopper Vol 1 but honestly have long been coveting a reread before reading volumes 2 & 3! As readers, we all experience that joy of discovering a new favourite Author and definitely even when I read Vol 1 of Heartstopper I instantly fell in love with Alice’s whimsical and sweet storytelling style but definitely after finishing Loveless, I am definitely thrilled to say that Alice Oseman is easily a new favourite Author of mine! This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance. 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.
