GOD I HAVE FEELJNFS ON THIA BOOK

I SEE SO MUCH OF MYSEF IN GEORGIA LIKE JESUS CHRIST SHES JUST LIKE ME FR

MINUS THE NOT BEING OKAY WITH BEING AROACE AT FIRST BECAUSE I WAS FOR SOME REASON SO HELLA FINE EITH IT

BUT OH MY GOD

AHHHHHH

Edit: I would like to update my thoughts now that I’ve had some time away from this book.

SPOILERS I LITERALLY CAN’T TALK ABOUT THIS PROPERLY WITHOUT SPOILERS I’M SORRY

At the time of reading originally, I was so excited over finally having a piece of asexual literature that I was very much viewing it through rose tinted glasses and, thinking on it now, there’s a lot of stuff that I don’t like.

Georgia is not relatable to me at all. How I thought so the first time around I don’t know. We have some things in common, but we’re very different.

For example, I would never try to force myself into dating someone for the sake of trying to not be single.

This is my biggest problem with Georgia. She asked Jason out and Jason said yes. Why would he have said yes if all he’d felt for her was friendship?

Maybe it was a one off.

Nope.

If he’s agreeing to more dates maybe, just maybe, it’s a sign he has feelings for Georgia. Just a thought. And the fact she chose her friend who had just come out of a toxic relationship, purely because of Rooney’s baseless claims he’s definitely in love with Georgia makes the whole thing ridiculous.

This story runs purely on miscommunication.

The only characters who never really annoyed me were Sunil and Jess and that’s because they were minor enough to not get too tangled in the chaos of the main four.

This book is chaos and not in the good way. There’s better ace literature out there now that I’m happy to go read instead.

I had the audacity to think I may be the exception to the rule and not be called out by Georgia. I was wrong. I also had the audacity to wait over a year to read this book. That was a mistake. I loved this book.

This books has great storyline focuses on important topics like love, friendship and creates more awareness of asexual and aromatic identities. Although I don't identify with the main terms, I was still able to resonate with the main lead e.g. feeling left behind. I was also able to sense characters emotions and envision scenes. It is also the only book I have read which continues on what happened into the previous chapter into the next chapter, I haven't seen this sort of writing style before...and I like it..it is different.

fantastic aro ace and general queer rep. beautiful friendship and found family dynamics, which are rarely the main focus of a story in the way they are here. pacing was a bit slow at times and the first half felt extremely repetitive, but the second half was so authentic and touching that it made up for it.
