This was my first finished book after a bit of a reading slump. It is back to school time right now, and the stress and anxiety seem to be taking over most educators right now. So if you follow me and like my reviews, please understand that things will be slowing down for a bit if only because the demand on teachers and librarians are high right now. Love is for Losers by Wibke Brueggeman is a cute story of Pheobe who is just a bit socially awkward. She does not like emotions and finds them repulsive mostly. The story begins with her falling out with Polly her best friend who has just started dating a guy very seriously. Pheobe just does not get it- why does Polly dating a guy have to change their friendship and why is Polly suddenly annoying with mentionistis constantly? Pheobe has never had feelings for another person in the romantic sense and she never wants to. She is worried that when she turns sixteen she will turn into those love sick girls. Pheobe also lives with her godmother, Kate, while her mom is out saving the world with a group similar to Doctor's Without Borders. Pheobe ends up falling in love with her new friend Emma, and is trying everything she can think of and google to fall out of love. This story is fun and quirky, with tons of British phrases that are just adorable. Phoebe learns that more people care about her than she ever expected. Love is For Losers by Wibke Brueggeman will be coming out In Feb of 2021. It will be a great addition to any romance collection and LGBTQ+ titles.
