I wish this story was more heavily marketed as an aroace book instead of just asexual, because the difference is very important to me, and while the title of Loveless should be a giveaway to that, based on my experiences with asexuality and a feeling of being unloveable (which is totally wrong btw), I thought there would still be a chance for a romantic relationship without a sexual aspect. And while there wasn't, I wouldn't have this book any other way. It was enjoyable, it tugged at my heartstrings, made me laugh and cry, and the side romantic plot was beautifully executed. This book was eye opening in ways I cannot explain when it comes to my asexuality and has opened me up to the idea of possibly being aromantic with the depictions of Georgia's repulsion towards romance matching my own thoughts. Thank you for the lovely book.
