Loveless

planet_neptvne shared a tip "I read it for the Aro/Ace representation (personally I am on the spectrum for both) and couldn’t push past page 100. Disappointed by the story, got bored easily, characters were incredibly stereotypical, not enjoyable to read the dialogue because I could guess what would happen immediately, the characters were really one-dimensional, and generally I felt it was just… terribly written? I’ve heard a lot of good things about Heartstopper (I have a whole ‘nother set of issues with the webtoon) so I assumed the other books Alice Oseman wrote might be semi decent to read, but in the end I’ve just been disappointed. I might try to read it again in the future, but atm it’s on my DNF"

Seldood.doodles shared a tip "I loved this book so much. I definitely agree that in the beginning it drags a bit, but I think that ends up working one well as it lets you really start to connect to the characters once the ✨drama✨ starts lol. As someone who’s asexual and on the aromatic spectrum, this book is incredibly important to me, and almost a little too relatable at points. Also love the sapphic side plot (if you know you know lol). I genuinely fell in love with all the characters. Once I picked it up I just could not put it down"

tiny_mushroom shared a tip "Just finished this and tbh it’s not my favorite my Alice! At times it was very slow and it felt boring and to me I can’t Personally relate to the book based on my orientation. However I did absolutely adore Pip and Rooneys relationship!! 6/10"

kaeli_whitener shared a tip "As an asexual panromantic, this story made me laugh cry and everywhere in between. This is my first time seeing an asexual person portrayed in media, and it made me feel so seen and validated. I sometimes feel as if I’m the only one who feels this way, so it’s great to hear about another character’s journey in discovering her asexuality."

jada_davis_5502 shared a tip "So good!!!! You just have to read it. Despite not being Aroace I still found the main character Georgia to be very relatable and so are her friends"

ella_ranola shared a tip "Overall, an enjoyable read. It helped give me a bit of reassurance with my own identity. I liked how the book touched on how there isn’t much aro/ace representation in a world that feels so obsessed with romance and sex. It was also very endearing to read about the platonic relationships the main character shares with her friends. Even if those relationships get challenged by an incident that honestly had me rolling my eyes because I saw it coming from a mile away."

hannah_jeansonne shared a tip "I can’t put into words how much i loved this book. it’ll be nice to come back to every once in a while when i’m longing for aroace rep in media."

sagittarius_wolf shared a tip "As an asexual I was excited to read this book initially because the representation just isn’t really there but I found myself often annoyed at Georgia and her choices throughout the book. She dated someone despite knowing well that she didn’t like them, and kissed someone who her friend likes (of course the friend saw). In the end I wound up reading it for the background characters (pip, Rooney, Jason and Sunil). Not my favorite Alice Oseman book :("

the_real_nick.nelson shared a tip "I just got done with this book and it was so good I couldn’t stop reading! It has great Aro-Ace representation, has cute side-stories and angst also. There were times where I almost cried a few times and times where I was kicking my feet!"

des_ivy shared a tip "AMAZING book! The build up of the character details and events was well paced. It's absolutely crazy that Alice successfully made me sympathize for and like Rooney... I LOVE IT!"

zoe_vleugels shared a tip "Loveless is a great book about a girl going into college trying to figure out who she is, she has never been attracted to anyone in the past and thinks something is wrong with her. But you are who you are."

angelina_buri shared a tip "Loveless by alice oesman is a great book about Georgia and her journey finding out about her sexuality while in college, a great LGBTQ+ story that currently is my favorite book<3"

elliot_mcgavran shared a tip "Honestly it’s got it’s cringy moments not going to lie to you, but it’s such an adorable book, the tension gets real made me stop reading for several days before picking up cause my sanity won’t be able to read straight though certain parts, but I’m tempted to read this again after I finish my current book. The characters aren’t rushed out, the development for the characters as they go through trial and error is quite interesting to take part of (as a reader observing of course) but 10/10 would recommend"
