Despite this book being called Loveless, I love it! ( Sorry, I had to😂) This coming-of age and self discovery story was so cute and I genuinely loved every part of it, well almost...I hate Lloyd😠No, really this was so good! I loved Georgia's story and everyone in it, especially Sunil and Jason! I literally want someone encompassing both their personalities in my life. And I have to be honest, this was the first book I read with an aromantic and asexual main character. I won't talk about the execution of the representation, since it is not my place to do so, but I think that I can trust that it is good. I heard so from some friends and I also think Alice also being aro-ace is a big point for that. However, what I will and can talk about is the execution of the gay representation, and it was just as I expected it from Alice. They did a great job portraying the multiple facettes of gaydom. And I have to agree with them, being gay does not mean that you cannot also be a bigot at the same time. I loved that specific subplot and I think that it is really important to highlight that fact! So Alice, if you see this, thank you for another great book!😊
