Loveless by Alice Oseman
4.5

I am reading my way through all of Alice Oseman‘s work, and I am continually impressed! Loveless is heartfelt, full of vibrant characters that you just want to give a giant hug, and YA done well - real conflict approached with an unflinching yet gentle touch, and without histrionics or overly saccharine prose.
I have read books that contain an aromantic or asexual character, but never one as the protagonist, and it was so enlightening to think of how a coming out story is so different for all LGBTQIA+ people. I believe that this one was also close to Alice’s heart, and I felt honored that she would share parts of what was probably similar to her personal experience. Highly recommend.❤️
