As the story progresses and the characters embed themselves into different aspects of Durham life – Jason becomes a committed rower, Rooney tests out all the nightclubs in town, Pip enjoys the various events hosted by the Durham LGBT+ Association, all of them united by their attendance of the Shakespeare Society – the exciting yet unique student experience comes to fruition. ![]() ![]() The long, daunting, and nerve-racked car ride up for the first day leaving parents behind, the surreal and comical reality of matriculation, and the bevy of societies, each with their own rules and rituals.

Not returning to Durham until October, I was excited to see alice oseman's portrayal of a city so close to my heart and relive my fragmented first and second years at university. ![]() When popping into a Waterstones in mid-August, I came upon the bright pink cover and glossy black writing of Loveless.
