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:

She's going to be thirty in a month.
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.

READER RAVES FOR Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It:

'This is my new favourite book ever. For ONCE I can relate to the main character of a romance novel'

'The most relatable, endearing, and loyal character I have ever met... It's Phoebe's world and I'm just living it'

'One of my new favourite fictional characters'

'Through faultless friend groups, endless word game, and failed flirtations, this novel is a romance worth giggling and kicking your feet over... a debut you won't want to miss!'

'Time should probably be labelled as BPB and APB (before Phoebe Berman & after Phoebe Berman) from here on out'
