Review:
"An inspired collection of stories...'Losing it' has raw brutality, dark humour, poignancy and some startling writing from a stellar line up of authors." -- Jake Hope * The Bookseller * "Funny, sad, crude, lyrical." -- Julia Eccleshare * Lovereading * "Subject matter with stylistic and thematic variety; witty, poignant, and clever." -- Robert Dunbar * Books for Keeps * "Teenage literature can play a useful role when it comes to imparting felt knowledge rather than surface knowingness." -- Nick Tucker * The Independent * "(A) thought-provoking and well-crafted anthology." -- Claire Hennessy * INIS, Ireland *
