Loveless

   Representation is so important. The main character is aromantic/asexual.

Within the first 8 pages of this book, I found myself saying “It's me! The main character is me!” 

Georgia is at her high school after prom party. It's her last chance to kiss someone to complete the “normal” high school experience she is told by everyone in society is important. Yet, she can't seem to do it. She suddenly realises she has been faking a crush for 7 years. 

Georgia is going off to University/College, once again determined to have the “normal” university experience everyone else has. She enrolls the help of her roommate, and along the way, she becomes best friends with a seemingly unlikely person while discovering what being aromantic asexual (aro ace) means for her, and what “normal” is going to look like for her.

This was the book I needed when I was in high school.
