Officially Losing It

Description

A frank, relatable and outrageously funny YA novel full
of heart, friendship and the utter chaos of first relationships,
perfect for fans of Sex Education, Holly Bourne and Ciara
Smyth.

Warning: This book contains frank content of a sexual nature.

When Rose decides to lose her virginity to her gorgeous, sweet
boyfriend, Joel, the scene is set for a major milestone. Except,
when it comes to it, they can’t seem to make it … happen.
Rose’s ‘epic sex fail’ freaks her out. Isn’t everyone else having
an easy, fun, painless time?!

The problem is, she’s already told her best friends she’s done
it. And, worse still, while Rose unpicks her health issue, her relationship
with Joel starts to crack under the pressure.

But it turns out sex is not always straightforward for others
either, and Rose soon becomes the accidental confidante of cringe.
Maybe bodies and relationships are as weird and unique as we are?
And maybe what she really needs to lose is shame?

Mean Girls level quotability and a loveable cast of
down-to-earth characters reminiscent of Derry Girls and The
Inbetweeners.
A wildly entertaining, refreshing book with an outrageous sense
of humour, a highly relatable story and an empowering take on
friendships, teen relationships and personal growth.

With her counselling background, debut author Rebecca Anderson
embraces vulnerability and opens honest, shame-busting conversations
about our bodies, healthy relationships, and awkward or challenging
first (and future!) times.
