Description of the book

WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021

LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI CHILDREN’S & YA BOOK PRIZE 2022

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.

‘A joyous, disarmingly honest book that seems to leap right inside the mind of a teenage girl’ Independent [now iNews]

‘Loveless is an ode to friendship and platonic soulmates; this cosy blanket of a novel understandably won the YA Book Prize 2021’ Irish Times

Reviews of Loveless

Really good book! Loved the subject matter and the plot! 4.8/5

Sammy

Beautiful book about deep friendships and aroace identities. I really enjoyed the earnest themes and how heteronormativity hurts all of us queer folk. And that it's not about coming out to anyone other than yourself. I am glad Alice Oseman left that open.

ÄLSKAR DENNA BOKEN!!! Kunde inte sluta lyssna på den 🩷 Berättarrösten och beskrivningen i boken ger en sådan härlig varm känsla och man kunde lätt känna känslorna som karaktärerna kände. De grät, jag grät. De skratta, jag skratta. Alice Oseman skriver väldigt bra ungdomsböcker då hon använder händelser som många ungdomar känner igen sig i, iallafall om man själv eller någon i sin närhet är HBTQ. 10 av 10, rekommenderar verkligen ☺️ ÅLDERSGRÄNS: 15+ börs nog meddelas då boken innehåller sex.
