Description

Phoebe Berman is a hopeless romantic with a ticking clock: one month before her thirtieth birthday, she’s determined to finally lose her virginity—if her anxiety doesn’t derail every step. After a disastrous first kiss leaves her with crippling intimacy fears, she clings to romance novels and her best friends’ steady support while drafting an earnest, chaotic “Guide to Losing My Virginity” checklist. Suddenly, her quiet dating life explodes into a juggling act with three very different romantic prospects, forcing her to confront what she truly wants beneath the fear. With Brooke Averick’s sharp, comedic voice and deeply empathetic storytelling, this debut blends laugh-out-loud awkwardness with heartfelt coming-of-age honesty about love, self-worth, and the courage to be seen.
