Mini Review: Loveless

4.5/5 stars

Okay I basically consumed this book which is a little bit of a bummer because I feel like I should have rationed it. I Even if the main conflict of the story has ended I wanted to keep reading about cute friendship times and cheeky romance. 

Honestly, I think this was my favourite out of Alice’s Oseman’s books (though I say that every-time, so it really shows that ~ growth ~ and experience and practice will do the trick haha)

We love some good LBGT+ representation. And even though I don’t identify with asexuality, I think a lot of us regardless of our sexuality can identify with wanting to be loved and the importance of platonic friendships. I’ve always been strongly friendship orientated so give me all that found family stuff. I thought that the book would make me miss lots of my friends and squeezing into beds with them and doing silly dances and staying up until all hours talking but instead it just kind of makes me smile thinking about those times and that I can have them again - whether with my old friends or new ones. 

But obviously I’m also here for that gay shit PLUS angst, so gay angsty sapphic love? I was not disappointed (if anyone knows any cute Rooney & Pip fanfic send it my way ;))

Although the book was somewhat predictable, I like that in a way. It’s comforting. Especially as the point of the book is more character-orientated than plot-oriented. Alice is really good at creating fleshed out and complex characters and I love all of them. 

#Also in general I like that the book is set in University as it’s a bit more mature than high-school and as I’m getting older I’m not relati #petrareads #petrawrites #mini review #alice oseman #loveless #pip #rooney #georgia #also I'm proud of alice because I know that this was a personal thing to write so good for her #especially since ace;s get shat on in and outside of the LGBT+ community so good job alice #LGBT+ #ace #aro #asexual #representation #booklr #books #reading #read #writing #write #book review #bookish #young adult #fiction
