Loveless de Alice Oseman | Livros

Sinopse:

"The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman - one of the most authentic and talked-about voices in contemporary YA.

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 loved, 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 hew 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."

Loveless de Alice Oseman | Livros

Opinião:

Loveless conta a história de Georgia War, uma rapariga que adora fanfics pelo romance, mas que na realidade não se sente atraída por nenhuma pessoa ao ponto de nunca ter tido uma crush. Com ela percebemos que o amor não é limitado a um casal que pode igualmente haver muito amor numa amizade.

I was a dreamer, maybe, who liked to yearn and believed in the magic of love.

Quando entra para a universidade juntamente com os seus dois melhores amigos, Pip Quintana e Jason Farley-Shaw, Georgia não se sente tão perdida quando decide descobrir a sua sexualidade, ao compreender que o amor vai além de namorado ou namorada e, que não se encontra sozinha no mundo.

New at romance? I wanted to laugh. I'd been studying romance like an academic. Like an obsessive researcher. Romance would be my Mastermind topic.

Ela e os seus melhores amigos adoram participar em peças de teatro e, quando conhece a sua companheira de quarto na universidade, a Rooney Bach, esta propõe representar um conjunto de peças de Shakespeare.

Welcome to Durham Student Theater. We sure do love drama.

Portanto, encontramos neste livro lemos sobre temas como: o facto de alguém ser introvertido ou extrovertido, o descobrimento da sexualidade, os não limites do amor romântico, o medo de permanecer sozinha, o receio de admitir sentimentos, o medo de assumir um relacionamento e, claro a apreciação pela representação.

In the end, that was the problem with romance. It was so easy to romanticise romance because it was everywhere. It was in music and on TV and in filtered Instagram photos. It was in the air, crisp and alive with fresh possibility. It was in falling leaves, crumbling wooden doorways, scuffed cobblestones and fields of dandelions. It was in the touch of hands, scrawled letters, crumpled sheets and the golden hour.

Mais uma vez, gostei da história que a autora nos conta e, depois de ler Heartstopper, percebi que Alice Oseman escreve com delicadeza e é relevante na escolha dos tópicos que aborda.
