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. Funny, sad, crude, lyrical. Subject matter with stylistic and thematic variety; witty, poignant, and clever. Teenage literature can play a useful role when it comes to imparting felt knowledge rather than surface knowingness. (A) thought-provoking and well-crafted anthology.
