• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A laugh out loud look at first love, loss and trying to avoid the girl of your dreams.

What a stupid expression that is in the first place: To fall in love.
Like you fall into a ditch or something.
Maybe people need to look where they're going.

As far as Phoebe Davis is concerned, love is to be avoided at all costs. Why would you spend your life worrying about something that turns you into a complete moron? If her best friend Polly is anything to go by, the first sniff of a relationship makes you forget about your friends (like, hello?), get completely obsessed with sex (yawn) and bang on constantly about a person who definitely isn't as great as you think they are.

So Phoebe isn't going to fall in love, ever.
But then she meets Emma . . .

Love is for Losers by Wibke Brueggemann is a hilarious, life-affirming novel about all the big stuff: love, sex, death, family, heartbreak, kittens . . . and kisses that turn the whole world upside down.

Rezensionen

A Lambda Literary Most Anticipated LGBTQ Book of the Month!
A Junior Library Guild Selection!
A Capitol Choices Selection!

"A sarcastic 15-year-old records angst-about her parents, first love and loss, and failure-in six months of achingly universal journal entries. Via journal entries told in Phoebe's no-nonsense tone, debut author Brueggemann details the snarky, socially awkward protagonist's growth as she experiences the messiness of attraction and love, and comes to appreciate the joy and pain of connection. Phoebe's frequent internet searches and frank narration style manage to both entertain and inform on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sexuality and identity." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This is ultimately a thoughtful, funny, deeply emotional coming of age story, perfect for readers looking to commiserate with someone puzzling their way through life and love." -Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

"The novel is told indaily diary entries, from New Year's Day to Phoebe's birthday in July; the entries reveal an endearing vulnerability under a (very funny) layer of snark." -Horn Book
