Losing It
by Carmack, Cora
Bliss Edwards is a college student with a major secret: she is still a virgin, and the pressure to change that status has reached a breaking point. Her plan to shed her innocence takes a hilariously disastrous turn when she ends up in bed with someone she realizes too late is her new professor. The story balances the frantic, mortifying reality of being twenty-something with the genuine ache of first love. It is a fast-paced, witty read that leans into the awkwardness of self-discovery without losing its romantic heart. If you enjoy stories where high-stakes humiliation leads to unexpected intimacy, you will find Bliss’s journey both relatable and deeply satisfying. It is perfect for anyone who wants a college-set romance that manages to be both lighthearted and emotionally grounded.
