What a gift this book is.
It's another of those ones I wish I'd read sooner so that I could have figured things out earlier, but it's bringing me so much joy I know I'll still treasure it for a long long time. 
Loveless is about Georgia, who is finally ready to admit her feelings to her crush at the highschool end-of-year party. Except that instead of the magical experience involving butterflies, a shower of stars and, eventually, a first kiss, disaster happens. Georgia isn't attracted to this very attractive boy she's been pining for for the past seven years. Was it all a lie? Has she ever felt attraction? Who even is she? 
I haven't had the same experiences as Georgia, but our journeys were so similar that I kept cringing and awwww-ing and nodding all the way through this fabulous book. It's so queer and inclusive and tender that it made my heart very full. Just the pick-me-up I needed.
