She is a character which brings me to the next point. She is shy, akward, doesn’t know how to interact in conversations or talk to new people (I felt that), loves acting and Sheakspare, likes fanfic, etc. It is a story about Georgia discovering she is aroace, but she is never only aroace. Georgia is an akward shy teenager, but that is just because Alice Oseman likes to write akward shy teenagers and not because she is aroace.

Being aroace is not the character entire personality Her development is about she understanding romatic love is not the only kind of important love, is not the happy ending to everyone and this is totally fine. Since it is told by her pov, her internalized aphobia is not like called out for most of the book. Which for me is fine, her journey is about her discovering she is aroace and accepting it. When it is about Georgia’s internalized aphobia, the narrative is neutral about it.

And besides Georgia’s internalized aphobia, the characters that say, do something aphobic are always put as wrong or bad guys. I really like how the book shows the different ways aphobia can look like. But yeah, the narrative never treats the ace characters like that. I don’t think I need to add anything about it. The character is not treated as broken, inhuman or something like that by the narrative (Thinking about it now it all seems just like the bare maybe you would like this post?ġ. I also read half of the book with a headache, I didn’t like it and I’m brand new to the ace community. It is important to you, the person reading it, know that I’m a ace girl who is questioning if I’m aro. (I’m gonna fail, this post will be messy) My attempt to write an organized post about the matter.
