Review of 'Loveless' on 'Goodreads'
5 izar
I know that there is some critique about the delivery of aromantik and asexuality, because it focuses on one particular "brand".
I thought that they absolutely pointed out that there are other ways. positive, negative, indifferent... It might be that I saw that and thought it was ok, because I do know quite a bit about the topic and am well aware that there are a gazillion ways to experience these feelings, or the lack thereof. So I can agree that it might be quite one-sided for someone who has no experience.
However, I loved that Georgia is someone who reads smut and enjoys it, which makes the entire idea of being ace so ridiculous. She was not someone who hated the idea per see, and I think that is a very important point and made it in my eyes also less rigid than others complein.

I gave it 5 stars and thought it was a very good and realistic way to show the development. Georgia is only one person with one identity and I think it was a good mix and a good way to show why people don't even think about asexuality. We are all indoctrinated with heteronormativity, so we just assume that we're the same. And as long as you don't fancy someone very obviously not from the opposite gender, there is no reason to question your heterosexuality, especially if you like to read Draco/Harry smut ;)
So yes, I understand the complaints, but still give it a 5.
