All The Love In The World!
This book...I am so eternally grateful that this book exists.
Before I start fangirling, quick disclaimer, I'm a partially blind reader. Audiobooks and ebooks with a robotic screen reader are the only way I can read books.
So, I have a defined rating system for fiction books. Here it goes.
1. Did I put the book down?
Impossible. I listened to the audiobook version on the Scribd app. I started in the early afternoon and I couldn't let go of the book. My body refused to fall asleep until I finished. I felt it that much. There goes one big star!
2. What about the characters?
Georgia is perhaps one of the most relatable characters I have ever read. Oh, yeah, another quick disclaimer, I am asexual. Anyway, very relatable for the most part. All the supporting cast was awesome to read about too. I know people like all of these characters in the real world. It'sunusual that I get so hyped while reading a contemporary story, but when it happens, it is a big hype from me.
3. How about structure?
Engaging! At no point did I feel bored, even if the story revolved about college life. There was always something going on, and the way Georgia slowly figures things out was realistic for many aces out there who are still discovering their orientation, which brings me to...
4. Writing
It's good and it flows nicely. The author is not trying to be someone she's not. The dialogue sounds realistic and to me that's a big plus.
5. Subjective stuff
Like I said, I'm ace. I would love to read more books with ace protagonists. This was the basics, a story about a character figuring out who she is and discovering that she is not really into romance and sex. Fantastic! Alice is paving the road for us aspiring authors who also happen to include this kind of perspective into our stories. I am so glad that this book got published and quite popular. There are no specifics I would critique about it, so here it is, my 5 stars in detail.
