On 20 May 2022, Netflix announced that the series was being recommissioned for a second and third season. [30] Through the characters, the author has done a remarkable job in explaining what asexuality and aromanticism mean and what they represent. I was laughing, crying and cringing (relatable moments, second hand embarassments you know) the whole time I was reading the book!

It was so easy to romanticize romance because it was everywhere. I could see it all, all the time, all around, but when I got closer, I found that nothing was there. The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman – one of the most authentic and talked-about voices in contemporary YA. 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. Loveless by Alice Oseman – eBook Details She never even really apologizes for her actions, which is a recurring theme all throughout this novel. Georgia is basically the reason behind most of her friends' problems and she is never held accountable for it. She is such a horrible friend and they all love her for it, it seems. Not once does she suffer repercussions for the problems that she herself has caused throughout the whole book.Netflix Lands Adaptation Of YA Graphic Novel 'Heartstopper', 'Doctor Who's Euros Lyn To Direct See-Saw-Produced Series". Deadline Hollywood. 20 January 2021. omh hello am I reading this right? Am I right in assuming this has an aro-ace heroine? Am I crying because the premise of this book sounds inherently familiar to my life experience? Yes, yes I am. At the end of the day, despite knowing how many people saw themselves in this book and the main character's experience, I simply cannot recommend this book whatsoever. A book that shames and invalidates everybody else's experiences to further a main character's journey is just not a good book. I have read quite a few books in which ace or aro characters are used as side characters but this book here guys took the concept of friendship love story

Giddings, Alice (17 March 2023). "BookTok authors named for The British Book Awards 2023 shortlists". Metro . Retrieved 21 April 2023. When she moves to Durham University with her friends Pip and Jason she is hoping that her feelings towards kissing and sex may change and sets about trying to be like everyone else and find that special someone with the help of her new roommate and their acting club. However, romance and dating are not easy to come by for Georgia like they are for others and so she questions why she is loveless. O'Toole, Scarlett (14 November 2022).

Retrieved 15 November 2022.The long answer: I write my books as if they are taking place in the present at the time that I am writing them. This obviously doesn’t technically work in the timeline of the books, because I wrote Heartstopper long after I wrote Solitaire, even though Heartstopper takes place before Solitaire! Pip is Georgia's other best friend from school and (I believe) the only woman of color in this book (pls correct me if I'm wrong). And, of course, she is portrayed as this stereotypical, loud, rude, and petty Latina. Wow, Alice. Great job. She was just as insufferable as Georgia in my opinion. The main conflict of the book (if you can call it that) revolved around Pip and this absolutely lazy and unnecessary miscommunication and I just could not take it. It's 2020 for God's sake, craft a conflict that actually makes sense instead of lazily utilizing miscommunication for some petty high school drama. Reading about someone going through the exact same thoughts, worries and confusions as I did was ground breaking to me. I can't thank Alice Oseman enough. I will never forget this book.
