Losing It by Emma Rathbone

Losing It

by Emma Rathbone

‘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?

Con este libro sí me quiero golpear porque no sé qué demonios estaba pensando, o sea, la sinopsis pinta a Julia como un ser humano horrible, y el libro solo lo confirma.

Sinceramente pensé que Losing It sería divertido y feminista y hablaría de normas sociales, pero lo que obtuve fueron personajes planos que nunca se desarrollan y una protagonista sin el mínimo encanto en Julia.
