Wibke Brueggemann

In this wry and hilarious queer romantic comedy, fifteen-year-old Phoebe realizes that falling in love is maybe not just for losers.

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 her 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' Diary, if it were written by Bridget's daughter.

Love Is for Losers

For fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman, a girl falls for her best friend’s crush in Cupid’s Revenge, a queer YA rom-com from Wibke Brueggemann that’s equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy. It was never Tilly’s intention to fall in love, but Cupid will get you when you least expect it. That’s exactly what happens when Tilly’s best friend, Teddy, ropes Tilly into a plan to woo his dream girl, aspiring actress Katherine Cooper-Bunting. It turns out Teddy’s not the only one who finds her dreamy. But Katherine is off-limits. The only thing more important than Tilly’s feelings for someone she just met is not hurting Teddy, whose heart has been broken in the past. Though, avoiding temptation is easier said than done, as Teddy convinces Tilly to help him audition for a local play as a way to get to know Katherine better—a complete horror for someone who grew up in an artsy family but doesn’t have a creative bone in her body. On top of dealing with her growing feelings for the girl she shouldn’t like (but who may like her back), Tillie is still grieving a loss while navigating her grandfather’s recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis. So yeah, that’s a lot for any sixteen-year-old to handle without Cupid’s vengeful arrows getting involved.

Cupid's Revenge

Humorná queer romance o tom, že zamilovat se možná není až taková pitomost. Patnáctiletá Phoebe má za to, že zamilovat se je zbytečné a ponižující, a tak se zařekne, že to nikdy neudělá. Pak ale dostane brigádu v místním second handu a shodou náhod, které nemohla ani trochu předvídat, tam narazí na Emmu... Dívku, která dost možná, aniž by o to vůbec usilovala, docela změní Phoebein pohled na věc. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Love is for Losers ... also echt nicht mein Ding

Liefde is voor losers

Hormone, nein danke! Denn die lästigen Botenstoffe machen Phoebe das Leben gerade zur Hölle, und das, obwohl sie sich eigentlich auf die Prüfungen vorbereiten muss: • Ihre beste Freundin ist zum ersten Mal verliebt und scheint Phoebe aus ihrer Erinnerung gelöscht zu haben. • Ihre Mutter hat extreme Muttergefühle – bloß nicht für sie, sondern für alle anderen Menschen auf der Welt. Deshalb ist sie aktuell in Syrien und hat Phoebe wieder bei Tante Kate geparkt. • Das wäre eigentlich ganz okay, wenn Kate nicht ständig über Sex reden würde ... Phoebe ist eins klar: Offensichtlich lösen Hormone im Gehirn einen chemischen Shitstorm aus. Und das kann sie echt nicht gebrauchen, neben den Prüfungen und so! Doch dann trifft sie Emma – und wird selbst zum Opfer ...
