Love is for Losers

By Wibke Brueggemann

A wry and hilarious queer romantic comedy debut about "the joy and pain of connection" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Did you know you can marry yourself?
How strange/brilliant is that?

Fifteen-year-old Phoebe thinks falling in love is vile and degrading, and vows never to do it. Then, due to circumstances not entirely in her control, she finds herself volunteering at a local thrift shop. There she meets Emma, who might unwittingly upend Phoebe's whole theory on life.

This is a laugh-out-loud exploration of sexuality, family, female friendship, grief, and community. With the heart and hilarity of Netflix's critically acclaimed Sex Education, Wibke Brueggemann's sex-positive debut is required reading for Generation Z teens. Think of this as Bridget Jones's Diary, if it were written by Bridget's daughter.
