Virginity. Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible—a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half a brain would ever believe...
This book
and Faking It, also by Cora Carmack,
were my first real dip into the New Adult genre and I must say that it has really
grown on me.
Bliss
Edwards is a girl who is ready to make new transitions in her life – one of
them being to lose her virginity. She’s the only one of her college friends who
is still a virgin and she’s determined to lose it before she graduates. One
night she almost comes close to accomplishing her mission with an extremely hot
guy she met at a bar, but then when her brain tells her she is still not ready
she makes a quick excuse to get away. And then she finds out he’s her theater professor in college. And, oh boy do things heat up from there!
This book
has many funny and quirky moments! I thought the side characters were a bit
predictable and cardboard but the main characters were pretty interesting. And
of course British guys in novels forever and always remain my weakness.
Maybe it
was because I read Faking It first
but I just could not get into Losing It.
There was something about it that was too similar to every other contemporary novel I've ever read and the plot toward the end sort of just fell into a puddle.
Although I’m all for resolutions I felt like the end kind of dragged out too
long. I hope, like with the second book in this series, the novels keep getting
better with each new volume.
