A debut novel following a woman turning thirty in thirty days, determined to lose her virginity before her birthday—from podcaster, comedian, and bookfluencer Brooke Averick, who has amassed a platform of over 1.5M fans.
How can you ever share true love's kiss without feeling like you're going to throw up?
Phoebe Berman is on the verge of turning thirty and still hasn’t lost her virginity. So she drafts up the ultimate "Guide to Losing My Virginity" checklist and complete all the steps in a month.
Actions as simple as “compliment a stranger on his outfit” or “redownload Hinge” are the easiest steps, while others, like “Go on a random dating app date” or “get drunk and make out with a stranger,” feel nearly impossible. Why? Phoebe has debilitating intimacy anxiety.
And then suddenly, her relatively boring (basically non-existent) dating life is filled with suitors. There's a new fourth grade teacher at her school with perfect arms, a childhood crush resurfaces via Words with Friends, and then there's Jonathan, her college best friend who might be a friend no more...
Rapidly, Phoebe’s love life is taking center stage in a way she never anticipated. But this love square she has gotten herself into, and the stomach cramps and dizziness that surface whenever she gears up for a potential date, are making things complicated.
Phoebe Berman’s Gonna Lose It is a love story for those who devour romance novels and the latest Netflix rom coms, but struggle to find protagonists that feel authentic, grounded, and like real people.
