The non-kiss is a formative moment for Georgia as she heads off to college with her best friends Jason and Pip. Georgia is an expert in romance having studied every romantic comedy and fanfiction, but when the time comes for her to have her first kiss with her longtime crush at her high school graduation party, Georgia clams up, recoiling from him and unable to follow through. Loveless follows Georgia Warr, an introverted, hopeless romantic desperate to have the love stories she’s read about. “I had been so desperate for my idea of true love that I couldn’t even see it when it was right in front of my face.” This notion is a staple of romantic comedy tropes, but beloved author Alice Oseman spins this feeling on its head in Loveless, her latest young adult novel. So you watched Heartstopper, but have you read Loveless?
