Blurb: "You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." 

"Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. 

"But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. 

"But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. 

"Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her. 

Thoughts: This is probably one of the most underrated books I've come across as a Potterhead. I literally cannot fault this book. Not only is the writing great, but I've never read anything that's made me laugh so hard (like literally on the floor shaking), gasp so loud (plot twistssss) , and smile wider (EVERYTHING IS SO CUTE) than Losing Game. This book makes my heart melt in so many ways. The author does an amazing job of making the characters human, having faults, and being complex without making us dislike them as people. The daily updates are the highlight of my life and I continue to fall in love with the book and characters more and more as each new chapter comes out. The friendship and love dynamics, both platonic and romantic, are intriguing, especially when it encompasses characters you least expect. I don't want to give anything away, so go read the book for yourself! Right now! You won't regret it! Also, the author is super sweet and awesome hehe. 

Hi my loves!

I'm so sorry for not updating for ages. I am not in the healthiest of places right now mentally so I kind of needed to step back from everything. I have a bunch of drafts for you all though and I promise to continue to be a plug to you lovely Potterheads.
