Love Is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann

4.0

This book was delightful. Absolutely charming. Phoebe' s mom is a physician who works with Doctors without borders and travels to dangerous parts of the world to render her services to the most vulnerable. While she is gone, 15, soon to be 16 year old Pheobe goes to live with Kate, her mother's best friend, a thrift shop owner and a designer cat breeder. Phoebe is great with numbers but not so good with her people skills. Her best friend Polly is enamoured by a boy named Tristan and Pheobe feels forgotten. While helping Kate at her thrift store Phoebe meets a cast of characters Alex, Emma, Melanie, Bill, Pat and James. Each character somehow contributes to Phoebe's growth as a young adult and could there be some romance lurking in the offing in her life? Although she firmly believes love is for losers?
