2022 book 80

 Alice Oseman's Loveless

I really liked Oseman's Radio Silence when I read it a couple years ago, and after binging the Heartstopper show this week, figured I’d give her newest novel a go. And I did like it! It's about a girl and her two best friends heading off to college, where she's SURE she will finally experience/understand romance/sex, but instead realizes she's not into any of that. I definitely wished the protagonist figured her shit out a little earlier in the story (the description makes it sound that way so perhaps my expectations were off, it ended up feeling very asexuality 101) but I loved all the characters, I loved the discussion of how meaningful and important friendships can be, and I loved the humor. B+.
