—我該怎麼做？
—什麼都不用做，你只要當好你自己。
身邊親朋好友都和伴侶幸福美滿，浪漫小說(與同人文)重度讀者，對戀愛充滿憧憬的Georgia，卻從未在愛情故事裡看到自己—她從沒談過戀愛，且才剛在高中畢業舞會上發現，對同學Tom的多年暗戀情愫，只是自己在假裝。
沒有交往經驗、也沒有和任何人接過吻？Aww you’re so pure🥺—為他人隨手貼上好可憐、好單純、真是怪胎的標籤，只消同儕間的幾句笑鬧起鬨。
夜店狂歡、浪漫戀愛，和高中好友Jason及Pip一起成為杜倫大學新鮮人的Georgia，對新生活充滿期待。室友Rooney外型亮眼又活潑，幾乎是Georgia的相反，在學院新生派對上，她藉著酒意向這位新室友吐露實情：自己從沒談過戀愛，無論如何都要把握大學時期好好「體驗」，於是跑遍各大派對、朋友走到哪交到哪的Rooney，自告奮勇當起戀愛軍師。萬事俱備，只欠對象—但Georgia發現自己誰也愛不下去。
努力一點，總能愛上誰的吧？
無浪漫傾向的無性戀(aromantic asexual/ aro-ace)，這組詞彙讓旁人一頭霧水，即便在酷兒社群，也有人認為這不過是個網路潮流、大家跟風的假標籤，而對酷兒驕傲社的現任社長、印度裔的Sunil而言，自己所屬的酷兒社群仍然「太白了」，也因此Sunil上任後致力將社團打造成更加多元友善的安全空間。對各少數群體敞開社團大門的現任社長，前社長不以為然，甚至擔心這將壓縮到所謂「真正的」酷兒群體的空間 (「他遲早會放某個順性別異性戀進來，只因對方表示自己受到了一丁點壓迫」)。
在Rooney鼓吹下，Georgia嘗試和Jason約會，因為和對方的摯友情誼，或許是她與戀愛最近的距離了。在試著愛上Jason，又因此備受煎熬的循環裡，Georgia從學長Sunil口中，得知了一個從未聽過的新身分…
在這個認為所有人理應會戀愛、單身只是「對的人還沒出現」的世界，原來她無法與他人相戀與發展親密關係的狀態，可被名狀，更不罕見。浪漫關係不是她性傾向的預設值，但不代表她無法愛人：她擁有愛，更不吝於給予愛—即便不是以戀愛的形式。
*作為故事背景的杜倫大學，即為作者的母校，有興趣的讀者也可留意書中對校舍環境的細節描繪。和主角同樣出身聖約翰學院(St. John’s College)的作者，也以不少篇幅描寫學院的趣味傳統(Bailey Ball及College Parents制度)
With special bonus content – a brand new story by Alice Oseman
WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021
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.
