‘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




Twenty-six year old Julia Greenfield has long suspected that everyone is having fun without her.



It’s not that she’s unhappy, per se. It’s just that she’s not exactly happy either.


She hasn’t done anything spontaneous since about 2003. Shouldn’t she be running a start up? Going backpacking? Exploring uncharted erogenous zones with inappropriate men?


Trapped between news of her mother’s latent sexual awakening and her spinster aunt’s odd behaviour, Julia has finally snapped. It’s time to take some risks, and get a life.

After all – what has she got to lose?
