The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.Solitaire
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.

Wow. What a emotional rollercoaster. GREAT inclusion of the lgbtq and aroace spectrum and it goes in detail about it. I felt understood reading this. And i felt happy when i read about the silly moments the friendgroup has, and my heart stopped when something would happen to mess it up and id be super intriged not wanting to stop reading, it always ended up fine tho, even better than before. I love this book :) It was pleasent to listen to and i enjoyed every second of it. I cant believe even tho they have theyre sad moments and complications i still wished i had such good outcome of things like they did and have the support and friends and time to expirience life like that. Can you believe its possible to be jelous of a book? Of people that arnt even real? I'm so silly sometimes. :') Anyway, this is definitly one of my favourites. (finished it in 2 days!!) Live laugh love alice oseman<3 (Ps: i already have this book myself but i only decided after i started reading the first few pages that id rather listen to it instead, like i did with solitaire. It just feels 10 times more real that way for me. :) -ash<3
