Love Is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann
3.0
The diary style format of this book, combined with Phoebe’s sarcastic humour, worked well for me, and I found myself enjoying it more than I thought I would.
I really liked Kate (and the cats!) and her presence in Phoebe’s life, that was lovely. Much like Phoebe though, I did sort of want to yell at her mum.
Phoebe isn’t always a likeable main character - the way she keeps people at a distance translated through the pages for me. But that said, I loved her friendship with Alex (from sort of bumbling, awkward and a little rude to proper friends) and the way she really was just unsure of everything.
I found her crush on Emma sort of obvious, but still sort of adorable. Plus the ending made me having feelings (ugh!!) because it was all cute.
I also loved all the little side plots around the charity shop - especially find of the week, that sounded so fun
