Indigo Exclusive cover for Canada

This is the funny, honest, messy story of Georgia, who doesn’t understand why she can’t crush and kiss and make out like her friends. Everyone seems to say that dating + sex = love. It’s not until she gets to university that she comes to understand herself as asexual/aromantic.

From the creator of Heartstopper comes an exceptional novel about discovering it’s okay if you don’t have sexual or romantic feelings for anyone . . . since there are plenty of other ways to find love and connection.
