Phoebe Berman's Guide to Losing Her Virginity In 30 Days: A Checklist
⭐ Redownload Hinge
⭐ Pet a dog with a cute owner
⭐ Find the cutest guy on the plane to help with my luggage
⭐ Identify a suitable target behind the wheel of a car, rear end him, and get his number
⭐ Advertise myself on Craigslist
All Phoebe Berman has ever wanted is a whirlwind romance. And yet, she keeps getting in her own way. She has no idea what has caused her long and messy history of failed dating attempts - the panic attacks, cold sweats and projectile vomiting.
But she does know two things:
1. She's going to be thirty in a month.
2. She's still a virgin. This, though, she's determined to change.
Armed with a romance-novel-inspired to-do list, Phoebe's giving herself thirty days to lose her virginity. No backing out this time.
She's even got some promising options lined up: there's charming new fellow teacher Finn; long-distance texting pen pal Matthew; and, of course, dreamy Jonathan, her long-time best friend and roommate.
With the clock ticking and a checklist as chaotic as her inner monologue, if Phoebe Berman wants to lose it, she might just have to find herself first.
'The charming read is sure to be on every rom-com fan's TBR list - and one of the most highly anticipated books of the spring' Marie Claire
'I'm positive that everyone can find a sliver of themselves in Phoebe's earnest - and hilarious - quest for love' Cosmopolitan
'Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose it brings a fresh perspective to the romance genre . . . [it] has all the charm of an early-2000s rom-com, while blending quirky humour with a meaningful exploration of mental health' BuzzFeed
