Reviews with content warning for Biphobia - Loveless

Very cute! I was skeptical about a romcom centering an aro character, but Oseman pulled it off. There were a couple points when the book got a bit too explain-y about what asexuality and aromanticism means, but with so little representation of aro/ace characters in the media, I understand why she felt it was necessary.

i’m so incredibly happy i finally read loveless. this one was my first book with an aro-ace mc and i’m very grateful for that because i needed it.

i don’t know how to put my thoughts into words but it was a big relief to read georgia’s thoughts about sex and how alone she felt with everything but also how she questioned if some of her thoughts were even related to her being ace because same!!

i appreciate the setting - very glad to read more books where the characters are in university because the world is missing more of that. i also appreciate all the other characters. they all played such an important part in the story and i was able to relate to most of them at least the tiniest bit.

i could list all the things i appreciate about each of them but i’m gonna leave it at that. this also protected me from falling into a reading slump so yay to that!!

Such an important novel about heading off to University and figuring yourself out, with your old school mates, as well as making new friends, and of course discovering words and others who are like you in ways you never understood before. Loveless, of course does an amazing job at sharing a discovery story and coming out as both aromatic and asexual. I am so glad this book in now published in the states, and I hope more people can find themselves represented in these pages!

Loveless is an incredible story of self discovery, love and friendship. Georgia Warr is off to college with her two best friends, Pip and Jason. For a long time Georgia has felt “different” from just about everyone, because society is based on heteronormative standards. Growing up watching romcoms, Georgia wonders, “when will she fall in love?” She can’t find it in her and she feels weird. The friends go off to college, they meet and make new friends. Unlike them, Georgia has a roommate, Rooney who seems so sure of herself until she isn’t. The relationships become complicated, because they are all growing in different ways. I’ve not read any stories with Ace & Aros characters and this is an intrinsic part of Georgia’s character. Her self discovery and rediscovering her friendships with a new self awareness. At the heart this is a lovely story of love and friendship
