Love Is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann
4.0
I tend to enjoy a variety of books, including YA titles.
And the idea of a young girl who feels like a fish out of water compared to her one friend and those in her school is the type of story I tend to enjoy.
Overall, this title was okay.
I liked the diary format used.
I could appreciate some of the feeling different from others.
I can feel empathetic of her feeling like love is for losers and that she'd never want to fall in love. Because her untraditional upbringing contributed to her ideas about love and relationships.
Even with all this, I had times where Phoebe's writing was heading to extreme whining. Having both been a teen and having parented teens and worked with them, I get that they make poor decisions and are still rather self-centered. But, Phoebe's character seems to have taken it to an extreme that bothered me a bit.
But, if you are looking for a title that has an LGBT component, then this could be a good option.
I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC of Love is for Losers. “Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”
