WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021

LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI CHILDREN’S & YA BOOK PRIZE 2022

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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

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.

Critic Reviews

‘A joyous, disarmingly honest book that seems to leap right inside the mind of a teenage girl’ Independent [now iNews]

‘Loveless is an ode to friendship and platonic soulmates; this cosy blanket of a novel understandably won the YA Book Prize 2021’ Irish Times

‘A joyful tale of self-discovery” The Bookseller

It was so great to finally listen to a book that's written from the perspective of an asexual. I've been asexual all my life and only recently learned it was a 'thing'. I could realy realte to the main character. I'm glad some of my experiences, feelings and thoughts have been given a voice through this book. I'm thinking I might share it with others to help them to understand me, because I'm not broken. Or a child. just because I dont want to do what seems like 'normal' behaviour. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent story and narration

As an adult I love the variety of YA that wasn’t so readily available back in the 80’s and 90’s.

Loveless explores self reflection amidst the story background of young people transitioning from high school to university, and will give many a young person (and adult) comfort in realising our differences are our strengths.

Great YA reaching into lesser explored spaces
