Love Is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann
4.0
Don't judge a book by it's cover - BUT LOOK AT THIS COVER. IT'S GORGEOUS and I have to admit, it certainly caught my eye and for that I can only be grateful. I've actually found 3 different covers for the book but am only using 2 for my bookstagram picture because . . .well, I'm lazy.
Written as a diary, we meet Phoebe, a 15 year old girl who has decided that love turns people into idiots. Take Polly, for example. Until very recently, she has been Phoebe's best friend, but now she has a boyfriend and now he's all that Polly can talk about.
Phoebe is a great character. She's stroppy, sarcastic but so gloriously honest about things even though at times she really ought to think before speaking . . but she's 15 so give her a break.
Phoebe has reasons for being so prickly and keeping others at arms length which we learn about but also see Phoebe mature a lot and widen her social scene. The supporting characters are all well developed and love them or hate them, they all bring something to the story.
I found the entire book to be refreshing. I applaud the author for including certain subjects and normalising them. At the end of the day, this is the diary of a young girl and the way that she lives her life and I bloody loved it.
