coming from THE QUEEN of ya contemporaries, this was not it.

this is perhaps the worst book i've ever read

this would be a perfect book if not for-
• the unnecessary harry potter references
• the harmful aromantic rep. granted it is not explicitly said that connie is aro but it is heavily implied. and yeah...miss lord really did her dirty.

but oh well. i still liked it!

this was my favorite of the trilogy but i have to say I'm really tired of the “mc doesn't wanna be in a relationship but it turns out they just haven't met the right person yet” trope.

as an aroace person myself, i was more than disappointed by this book. as others have said, this book portrays georgia's experience as being THE aroace experience, which is neither true nor possible. also, the title of the book is literally loveless but loveless aros and aplatonic aros are not even mentioned in passing. the big theme of this book is ‘‘platonic relationships are just as important as romantic relationships'', completing ignoring the existence of people who don't feel platonic love either. it falls into the stereotype of ‘‘i might not feel romantic love, but don't worry, i'm still human as i DO feel platonic love'' like no, aro people don't have to ‘‘make up'' for their existence in any way. we're fine just the way we are, even if we don't feel love at all; be it romantic, platonic, familial, or any other kind. also, alice oseman has a history of negative bi and pan rep, as witnessed in i was born for this and now this. facepalms

still the best book i've ever read.

the flashbacks to the ex were annoying but this book was not.
