Phoebe Berman's Guide to Losing Her Virginity In 30 Days: A Checklist

⭐ Redownload Hinge

⭐ Pet a dog with a cute owner

⭐ Find the cutest guy on the plane to help with my luggage

⭐ Identify a suitable target behind the wheel of a car, rear end him, and get his number

⭐ Advertise myself on Craigslist

All Phoebe Berman has ever wanted is a whirlwind romance. And yet, she keeps getting in her own way. She has no idea what has caused her long and messy history of failed dating attempts - the panic attacks, cold sweats and projectile vomiting.

But she does know two things:

1. She's going to be thirty in a month.

2. She's still a virgin. This, though, she's determined to change.

Armed with a romance-novel-inspired to-do list, Phoebe's giving herself thirty days to lose her virginity. No backing out this time.

She's even got some promising options lined up: there's charming new fellow teacher Finn; long-distance texting pen pal Matthew; and, of course, dreamy Jonathan, her long-time best friend and roommate.

With the clock ticking and a checklist as chaotic as her inner monologue, if Phoebe Berman wants to lose it, she might just have to find herself first.
