Book Review
Loveless Summary
The protagonist of the book, a Georgia Warr, is leaving for Durham University with her two best friends, Jason and Pip. Georgia Warr wants to find romance because that's what she expected to experience while they're all trying to enjoy the university experience, but when she looks back, she can't recall ever having a crush on someone. Georgia meets Rooney, her roommate, who seems to push her to try new things and experience things. While this can encourage Georgia to discover more about herself, it also creates conflict.(Didn’t want to spoil the story)
My favorite quote: I've learnt some things. Like the way friendship can be just as intense, beautiful and endless as romance. Like the way there's love everywhere around me - there's love for my friends, there's love for my paintings, there's love for myself.
Overall I would rate this 4/5
I feel that it was a story full of emotion and it felt like you were in the story
However at moments it could be overwhelming due to some parts in story
But overall I think it did do some representation like asexual and aromantics because it isn’t always talked about in books or movies
