For me, this is one of the book’s greatest assets.
Firstly, I deeply admire the contrast Oseman draws between the type of media Georgia consumes versus her reality. No, There’s Nothing Wrong With YouĪlong the same vein, Georgia’s feeling of otherness further bolsters the impact of the book. In displaying Georgia’s initial estrangement, Oseman underscores who the A’s are in the queer community and that they belong just as much. But it’s necessary, and entirely truthful. Her distress is discernible, and Oseman ensures that readers feel it right along with Georgia. She feels ostracized because she doesn’t experience any sort of attraction to people. Georgia’s made to feel as though she doesn’t belong. One character in particular reiterates the negativity ace and aro people face not only outside the queer community, but also within it. Hearing the difference also allows Georgia her “oh” moment that propels her journey.įurthermore, Oseman’s defining also tackles the vast misunderstanding that surrounds asexual and aromantic people and how it manifests. Oseman reminds readers why this distinction is so significant. I think the tendency for many is to forget that sexual and romantic attraction are two entirely different things. While this comes as no surprise, it’s important, nonetheless. Secondly, Oseman firmly explains asexuality and aromanticism. This opens the door for Georgia to explore her identity and try to understand herself. For starters, she introduces Georgia and the feeling of knowing she’s not heterosexual (or heteroromantic, for that matter) despite not yet having the language to specify. She goes about this in a couple different ways. Naturally, Oseman defines asexuality and aromanticism for readers. While uprooting everything she knows, Georgia discovers there’s more to love than sex and romance.
Despite what real life and fictional media tells her – and her own long-term fantasies – Georgia is set on getting her life right. Through the school year, Georgia begins to explore her asexuality and aromanticism. When she begins university, she realizes she falls into the “A” category of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Unlike her friends, she’s unable to fathom actually doing any of these things. She longs to date and be kissed and have sex and fall in love.
Georgia Warr wants nothing more than to have a perfect romance like everyone around her seems to have. The Premise The A in LGBTQIA No, There’s Nothing Wrong With You Not So Loveless After All The Premise
