What this book is about
Georgia Warr arrives at Durham University expecting to finally fall in love. Instead, she discovers that she has never actually felt romantic or sexual attraction to anyone—and begins to understand what that means about who she is. Alice Oseman's novel is the first mainstream YA to center an aromantic asexual protagonist, and it handles the experience of realizing you're aro-ace with the same care and specificity that Heartstopper brings to its characters.
