WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021

LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI CHILDREN’S & YA BOOK PRIZE 2022

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.

It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
 
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush –  but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
 
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
 
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic –  Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
 
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
 
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.

– Mais t'es qui, toi ?
Il se fige devant moi et annonce d'une voix caverneuse :
– Je m'appelle Michael Holden.
Michael Holden.
– Et toi, qui es-tu, Victoria Spring ?
Je ne trouve rien à répondre, parce que c'est précisément ce que je répondrais : rien. Je suis du néant. Du vide. Je ne suis rien.
Soudain, la voix du proviseur retentit et je me tourne vers le haut-parleur.
Quand le silence revient, je baisse le regard et la salle est vide. J'ouvre mon poing et dans ma main, il y a le Post-it SOLITAIRE.CO.UK. Je ne sais pas à quel moment il est passé de celle de Michael Holden à la mienne, mais c'est un fait.
Ça doit être là que tout a commencé.
