Love Is for Losers is a sharp, laugh-out-loud funny story told through the diary entries of fifteen-year-old Phoebe Davis. Phoebe is convinced that love makes people act like absolute idiots—a belief proven by her best friend, who has recently fallen head-over-heels and turned into a completely different person. Determined to stay sensible and focused, Phoebe spends her summer volunteering at a local thrift shop alongside a quirky group of eccentric characters. However, her strictly anti-romance worldview is unexpectedly challenged when she meets Emma, a girl who works at the shop and makes Phoebe question everything she thought she knew about love, friendship, and herself.
