Loveless

by Alice Oseman

[Liam]

CN (taken from Alice Oseman's website ): internalized amisia, verbal amisia, deliberate amisic attitudes, accidentally amisic attitudes due to ignorance/lack of knowledge about a-spec identities, frank discussions of sex and masturbation, two brief incidents of exclusionary attitudes, references to past emotionally abusive relationships, references to past bullying

What I liked:
• The cover is really beautiful!
• Alice Oseman’s writing style is so beautiful and funny!
• The chapters were short! I love books with short chapters! And the chapter titles were great.
• This book is soooo queer! I mean, I knew the story was about an aroace girl, but I didn’t expect it to be so queer!
• I loved the characters! My favorite was probably Sunil, but they were all so cute and loveable. I wish I was part of their friend group!
• This book was incredibly relatable and it made me feel so seen as an aroace person. Especially the part about grieving a “fantasy future” and the importance of friendships really resonated with me.
• The ending was really beautiful and made me so happy!

What I didn’t like:
• Nothing! There isn’t a single thing I didn’t like about this book!

“Loveless” is officially my new favorite book of all times! I wish I could give this book to my younger self, and to every (questioning) aroace person in the world.
