"One of our best new writers." Benjamin Percy
"A voice that is at once heartbreaking and hilarious, and startlingly true." Lydia Peelle"
Praise for"Losing It"
A charming, truthful story about a lovably imperfect young woman whose virginity has overstayed its welcome; a witty and insightful novel about the mysteries of human connection.
Maggie Shipstead, author of"Seating Arrangements"and"Astonish Me"
A summer odyssey filled with awkward false starts and, hopefully, a happy ending. "Cosmo"
A candid yet funny take on just what desire and love mean. "The Millions"
A slightly neurotic and wholly hilarious meditation on the difference between love and lust, The One and close enough, "Losing It"is about so much more than a quest for sex: It's a confrontational narrative about all the other stuff that goes along with it, and the intimate decisions we make that shape our lives for better and worse. "Refinery29"
"[T]he mysteries of intimacy deepen in this mordant novel about taking charge and letting go. "O," the Oprah Magazine
"Witty." "US Weekly"
"Every single page of Emma Rathbone's"Losing It"contains a line so funny, so awkward, so perfect, that you do not want this momentous summer to end. Rathbone's writing feels effortless, but it detonates in such wonderful ways. An amazing book."
Kevin Wilson, author of"The Family Fang
"
Emma Rathbone has the wisdom to understand that we are all the protagonists of our own stories, and the sense of humor to recognize the absurdity of that fact. With a delicate touch, Rathbone takes a fraught moment in one young woman's life and fashions a funny, sad, genuinely moving story from it. Her Julia Greenfield is entirely imperfect and completely sympathetic, and"Losing It"is a bright gem of a novel.
Lauren Fox, author of"Days of Awe"and"Friends Like Us"
Wry and moving, a story about a young woman scuttled in love and work who fears that some kinds of loneliness might be impenetrable. A heartfelt and incredibly funny novel.
Thomas Pierce, author of "Hall of Small Mammals"
"Acandid yet funny take on just what desire and love mean." "The Millions," The Most Anticipated Books of 2016
"A contributor to the New Yorker's "Shouts and Murmurs" humor column, Rathbone reliably wrings the humor out of this situation, but more impressively, she manages to evoke its poignancy....Amusing but also smart about people and unexpectedly sweet." "Kirkus"

"[T]he mysteries of intimacy deepen in this mordant novel about taking charge and letting go. O, the Oprah Magazine
Losing It presents an accurate and entertaining depiction of what it feels like to be alive, right now, in this absurd, contemporary moment. Rathbone s accuracy is what makes her so funny; it s her grace as a writer that elevates this book from a series of comedic one-liners to art Emma Rathbone s project, it turns out, is more ambitious than expected. That s something to celebrate. Edan Lepucki, San Francisco Chronicle
Like The 40-Year-Old Virgin for Women There s something unusually keen about Julia s observations, both those she makes of herself and those she makes of other people, with a colorful, razor-sharp specificity born of way too much time and energy spent watching life happen to other people. Vogue.com
Julia s crises in life and love are cringeworthy in the best possible way and Rathbone s hilarious novel will leave you begging for more. Glamour
Julia s desperation is tragic, hilariously funny, and all too relatable to anyone who has felt like life has moved on without her. Real Simple
Rathbone's debut is whip-smart and wonderfully funny if you're going to add one book to the list this month, let it be this one. Refinery29
A summer odyssey filled with awkward false starts and, hopefully, a happy ending. Cosmo
A candid yet funny take on just what desire and love mean. The Millions
Losing It sheds light on alternative sex positivity (one that respects one s choice to wait), and shatters the stigma surrounding the subject, but not without plenty of humor involved. Nylon
"Funny and insightful Rathbone writes with pinpointed accuracy the feelings of discontent and despair that can arise from feeling lost or stuck in life [She] imbues Julia with such warmth and humor, and writes her with such affection, you can t help but root for the misguided character even when you want to shake her. This is a testament to Rathbone s writing and Julia s voice Losing Itis a terrific and funny meditation on the deep pockets of discontent in life, growing up, and seizing the right opportunities for connection when you can.

"Wise and witty... Losing It iscringingly insightful about sex and dating and all the ways we tie ourselves into knots over both.... [Rathbone] hasa knack for coming up with sharp images and painfully funny observations....The novel also honors what it feels like to be a smart, overly self-conscious young woman without sugarcoating how crazy self-conscious women can seem. Rathbone slyly constructs a female protagonist who is a product of a sex-crazed culture but not a victim of it....The genius of Losing It is that Rathbone resists turning her novel into a conventional romance."

Julia s desperation is tragic, hilariously funny, and all too relatable to anyone who has felt like life has moved on without her. Real Simple
[Rathbone] knows how to find the comedy in Julia s neurotic obsessive fantasies, and the tragedy in her series of unendingly terrible adventures in online dating... She creates a different kind of story: one of neurotic self-obsession, of a smart, frustrated woman, of the unfortunate truth that so many women are convinced that their value depends on men s judgment all within a narrative that actually has very little to do with men. It s a story that s well worth reading. Vox
