He's not exactly anyone's idea of a perfect boyfriend—but maybe that's what makes him worth loving.

Riku is a high school student who has always had a hard time fitting in, but his quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes involved with someone who seems to have even more problems than he does. What starts as an awkward connection gradually develops into a messy, heartfelt romance as the two begin to understand each other's insecurities and flaws.

With its focus on imperfect people, complicated feelings, and the awkwardness of teenage relationships, How to Love a Loser is a character-driven romance about finding someone who accepts you—even when you aren't sure you're worth loving.
