Goodreads summary:
Virginity.
Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible– a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if that weren’t embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theatre professor. She’d left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier.
Review:
You may have gathered from the cover and summary that this is not a YA book. No, I EXPLORED a little with Losing It by Cora Carmack as it’s a New Adult title.
For the most part, I really enjoyed it too. The main character Bliss’s voice is relateable and funny and I totally would have been friends with her in college. The sexy times are sexy and the Bliss’s friends and fellow students felt authentic to their age group.
My gripes with the book are small. Some of the dialogue is a little cheesy, and Garrick’s Britishism where he constantly calls Bliss “love” got a little old. In places, I felt like the conflict wasn’t as heightened as it could have been, or stretched a thin conflict into more than it needed to be.
But what I was looking for in Losing It was something different from my usual read, that’s what I got, and I enjoyed my ride.
