Love and identity beyond romance

Georgia enters college trying to make sense of why dating and physical intimacy do not feel the way they seem to for her friends. Her journey toward understanding herself as asexual and aromantic also challenges the assumption that romance is the main measure of love. The story connects that self-discovery with friendship: Georgia works through missteps and the strain of social expectations while figuring out how to share a newly named part of her identity. Its central question is how people build love and connection when romance is not part of the picture.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about asexual and aromantic identity.
  • Readers seeking fiction that explores friendship and connection beyond romantic relationships.

Book overview

For fans of Love, Simon and I Wish You All the Best, a funny, honest, messy, completely relatable story of a girl who realizes that love can be found in many ways that don't involve sex or romance.

 

From the marvelous author of Heartstopper comes an exceptional YA novel about discovering that it's okay if you don't have sexual or romantic feelings for anyone . . . since there are plenty of other ways to find love and connection.

 

This is the funny, honest, messy, completely relatable story of Georgia, who doesn't understand why she can't crush and kiss and make out like her friends do. She's surrounded by the narrative that dating + sex = love. It's not until she gets to college that she discovers the A range of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum -- coming to understand herself as asexual/aromantic. Disrupting the narrative that she's been told since birth isn't easy -- there are many mistakes along the way to inviting people into a newly found articulation of an always-known part of your identity. But Georgia's determined to get her life right, with the help of (and despite the major drama of) her friends.
