A Book Nerd Reads

* Readers can learn about aromanticism and asexuality with GeorgiaLoveless is about self-discovery for Georgia, so there’s plenty of information for readers who are unfamiliar with aromanticism and asexuality (Alice also includes aro/ace resources at the end, too!) Loveless is about self-discovery for Georgia, so there’s plenty of information for readers who are unfamiliar with aromanticism and asexuality (Alice also includes aro/ace resources at the end, too!) As a current college student myself, I was happy to see a YA novel set in college since there’s not as many out there as I’d like (especially ones that don’t center around romance.) * Authentic teenage dialogueIn my opinion, Alice Oseman writes Gen Z characters and their dialogue so accurately that I’m not convinced she’s not just two small teenagers in a giant trench coat.
