Loveless follows Georgia as she leaves home for university, navigating love, friendship, and the quest to understand who she is. This contemporary YA novel from Alice Oseman, winner of the YA Book Prize 2021, offers a witty, compassionate look at growing up, identity, and the reminder that love comes in many forms. Loveless is written for readers who enjoy character-driven coming-of-age stories and is especially resonant for fans of warm, insightful stories about self-discovery and friendship.
