Georgia is struggling to understand why she is different from her friends. She doesn't crush on anyone and nor does she have any interest in kissing and making out like her friends do. She feels trapped in the current narrative that dating and sex means that you are in love.
When she enters college she discovers the A
range of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and she starts to understand more about herself. She decides to disrupt the narrative and choose her own path instead of the one decided at birth. As Georgia learns to discover herself, she makes mistakes along the way but, it opens her up to new people and experiences.
I thought this would be a funny and interesting book to read. I did find Georgia to be relatable but, maybe because I been out of college for a few years but, I found the story a bit boring. I found that it just moved slowly along. While I didn't particularly care for the story, I did like that it was different from other romantic novels and had a different point of views. I feel that young readers/adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or have an interest in it, will enjoy this book more than I did.

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.
