Love Is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann
4.0
Love is for Losers is a lovely coming-of-age YA book. The kids in this book sound and behave like real teenagers - a feat for this genre. I also appreciated the sex-positive and supportive adults that were in this book. If only more caregivers behaved like Kate!
I found Phoebe to be a very sympathetic narrator. She's a 15 year old struggling with the idea of love, in all forms. Her lifelong best friend has a new boyfriend, and Phoebe is angry about how it has impacted their friendship. Her mom is a doctor, always traveling internationally to provide medical services to those in crisis. Phoebe enjoys living with her godmother, Kate, but harbors a lot of resentment for her mom and often feels abandoned.
I hope this becomes a series, I would read plenty more from Phoebe's journal and would love to see how she grows and finds her way in this world.
An e-copy of this book was generously provided to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
