Today I'm sharing the best book I read in February.
It was a pretty good reading month. Of the 9 books I read this month, I had only one 5-star read, so that's my Best of the Bunch.
After often complaining of asexuality being represented poorly in various books, I was relieved and grateful to read Alice Oseman's
Loveless. This was one person's experience of being aroace, but it wasn't presented as the one and only way to be aroace, and that makes it (unfortunately) a rarity. Aside from the representation piece, this book was just so great. There's both character development and fast-paced plot, so I didn't want to put the book down and I was rooting for everyone. The characters are real and messy with good hearts and questionable decision-making appropriate for teenagers. The celebration of friendship and the commentary on the societal prioritization of romantic relationships was lovely to see. This was very well crafted and I'm so glad it exists.
