I listened to the audiobook and read along in the ebook, which was such an immersive experience. The audio was great – the narrator captured the tone of voice of the novel very well. It was so easy to romanticize romance because it was everywhere. I could see it all, all the time, all around, but when I got closer, I found that nothing was there.

Retrieved 5 November 2023.Sadly, for me, this book just made me feel an immense amount of shame. I ID as pansexual, panromantic, demiromantic. And in my opinion, I feel like this book very much makes the reader feel like this is THE ONLY aroace experience, and…. it is just not. Sexuality can be so very fluid, and especially your feelings and experiences on the aro and ace spectrums can be so very vast and different. o Georgia feels loveless. She’s never been in a relationship or had any crushes, despite being obsessed with romance. But when a close friend confesses his feelings for her, Georgia starts to question her feelings and her identity… because maybe she just isn’t into guys. Or girls. Or anyone. In the university, things changed. I made one year in History and I met the most beautiful and amazing girl on my French class. She's bi and her mind is so open and she's smart. I fell for her, we talked but I never confessed to her my feelings (yes, I'm a coward and I hate me for this). When I changed to my actual career, literature, I met one of my best friends. She's pan and once, while we talked with my other friends, she asked us who we fancied, I said: "no one", with fear believing that I was gonna be rejected or they were gonna laugh of me. My friend smiled at me and said "oh, you're asexual". Like Georgia, I was also this hopeless romantic who spent much of their time daydreaming about romance, often fictional. I still am. I actually read a comic by Alice Oseman before that captured this feeling so well – how at odds you can feel with yourself if you love romance but you know it will never happen for you. This comic was actually the reason I had such high hopes of this novel.

But 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. With new terms thrown at her - asexual, aromantic - Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. As 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. Our troupe consisted of two star performers who both wanted to be in charge, one girl who threw up every time she acted, and one boy who might possibly be the love of my life.

Also, a mention for tmm gang, they're the best people i've ever met, i love them with my life and i'm very thankful for calling them my friends. :') guys, if you see this, you know who are you, demons and angels <3 Look at me, the next month I'll turn 23 and I've never kissed anyone. I used to think that THAT fact it was going to be the end of the world, since my friends were having romances at 15/16 y/o, having their first romantic relationship and their first kisses, and even sex. I had a lot of crushes at that age with many people, but I never thought it was important to have a relationship with someone. And that little fact was something to my ex classmates joke about like for 3/4 years. So, you can imagine how bad I felt for it.Loveless follows 18-year-old Georgia Warr, a girl entering her first year at Durham University having never kissed anyone or held a crush before.

WHAT YEARS DO YOUR BOOKS TAKE PLACE IN? The short answer: They don’t take place in any specific year. So who was Oseman’s childhood hero? “Mine is probably Artemi s Fowl because it was my favourite book series when I was younger. I just wanted to be Artemis Fowl. I thought he was the coolest person ever.” Practising your style and preparing to launch a webcomic is great, but sometimes people feel like they need to wait until their art is perfectbefore they could start a webcomic. Don't wait!! Webcomics are a huge undertaking and are usually multi-year projects. Start as soon as you can! If your art changes as you go along (mine did, a lot!) it's just a sign that you're improving.Loveless is an ode to friendship and platonic soulmates; this cosy blanket of a novel understandably won the YA Book Prize 2021’Irish Times
