The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.

Sanity, yes that's the word that doesn't exist anymore after you are done reading any of Alice Oseman's books. It just doesn't. You are bound to have any of the following reactions: a) cry happy tears and breakdown b) want to hug a character, cry happy tears and breakdown c) lament why you are not as talented as Alice, want to hug a character, cry happy tears and breakdown.That pretty much sums it up!

This book redefines what love means.. give it a go, I promise it won't disappoint. This book means a lot to me now and it would to the ace aro community. We don't get to see such rep in young adult literature but I'm glad Alice Oseman has put such a story out there 💜🤍

Enjoyable coming of age teenage drama about finding your true self and knowing that friendship is more important than any other kind of love in the world. Would have loved it more if i read this in my 20's.

A great love story without love. A twist that makes this teen romance stand apart from the rest. Truely a magical narration that keeps us hooked

4.5/5 stars!I am kicking off my Pride 2023 reads with this book by Alice Oseman and when people say that Alice Oseman singlehandedly took up the job of providing people from various backgrounds to relate to, THEY ARE NOT KIDDING.First things first, the book mentions Little Mix and Leigh Anne-Pinnock. THIS WAS A MAJOR FANGIRLING MOMENT FOR ME. Secondly, the book is representation at its finest. Yes, the characters help people struggling with their identities to find solace and has strong character building and a really well-written story. It also has teenagers, irrespective of their genders and identities going through common teenage crises that are navigated so well. I could not help but relate to Rooney Bach. I felt comforted reading her character arc. I had a similar experience in my undergrad and if it weren't for my amazing friends who took it upon themselves to make sure that I was alright and that I was not ruining my life, I would not be where I am today.

I like the premise of the book but I just thought the plot was too long and winding.
