Losing It

“It's a sight seen countless times along the seafront at Whitby, just one more girl kissing one more vampire."

17 is a difficult age for B.J. Neither his three friends, his secretive family nor Roger, the decor-loving football hooligan, can help him in his search to find himself and lose his virginity. A darkly comic novel about love, death, sex (and Goths).

Customer reviews

Graham Higgins If you like Shane Meadows movies and enjoy Mike Leigh's comic gift for sustained social awkwardness, this may be for you. I picked this up by chance and found myself laughing aloud within the first few pages. Ross Gilfillan has become one of those writers I'm prepared to buy into on the author name alone.

Hunt Emerson I endorsed the book for the back cover blurb – but that was on reading the first few chapters. Having read the whole thing, I can say that it's worth finishing! It's funny, intriguing, and touching. Recommended.

Jane This is a crackingly well-written read. It's funny, poignant and just a little bit rude.
