Description
—Lauren Fox, author of Days of Awe and Friends Like Us
Twenty-six year old Julia Greenfield has long suspected that everyone is having fun without her.
It’s not that she’s unhappy, per se. It’s just that she’s not exactly happy either.
She hasn’t done anything spontaneous since about 2003. Shouldn’t she be running a start up? Going backpacking? Exploring uncharted erogenous zones with inappropriate men?
Trapped between news of her mother’s latent sexual awakening and her spinster aunt’s odd behaviour, Julia has finally snapped. It’s time to take some risks, and get a life.
After all – what has she got to lose?

‘Julia Greenfield is entirely imperfect and completely sympathetic, and Losing It is a bright gem of a novel.’

Julia leaves her job and unfulfilled life in Washington DC to spend the summer with her aunt in North Carolina. At 26 years old, she still doesn't know what to do with her life but of one thing she is sure: she needs to lose her virginity and soon. Online dating and casual meetings at funerals are her chance to try to get over her crush on her married boss and to finally have sex. Julia's obsession with her virginity occupies 90 per cent of her brain (her words!). She is not looking for love or romance - she just wants to be like everyone else around her. This is a thought-provoking and compelling novel with hints of humour created by the awkward chats between Julia and her aunt.
