Just read "Loveless" by Alice Oseman.
I really enjoyed it, although it did drag just a bit towards the end.It's YA with an aro-ace main character. It reminded me of Becky Albertali's books: lots of queer young people, and what I've seen people call a "Tumbler" vibe. I don't mean that in a disparaging way!
It's about a young woman (British) leaving home for the first time, going to university with her two best friends, and figuring out her sexuality as a person who's never experienced romantic or sexual attraction.
It hooked me emotionally, (spent all of Sunday reading!) although the plot got a bit overly complex in the last few chapters.
I thought it struggled a bit to thread the needle of pointing out how obsessed our society is with romance, while also having a "will they won't they" lesbian romance sub-plot with some of the secondary characters.But it has lovely found-family vibes!
