Loveless
by Alice Oseman
Loveless introduces us to Georgia, a university freshman who's always felt a little out of step when it comes to romance. While her friends are chasing crushes, Georgia's just... not feeling it. This book is her tender, often funny, and deeply introspective journey of realizing she might be asexual and aromantic. It’s a book that beautifully captures the confusion and relief of finally putting a name to a feeling, or lack thereof. The reading experience is like a warm, understanding hug, moving at a thoughtful pace as Georgia navigates new friendships, identity crises, and the surprising power of found family. If you're looking for a heartfelt coming-of-age story that champions platonic love and self-acceptance, this one will resonate deeply.
