Losing It
Laura Stevens thinks she has it all. Loving husband, two adorable kids and fun, loyal friends. And then something horrifying happens…
Her husband Mike gets a new client. A female client.
A gorgeous, recently divorced, ex-model client. And she’s left wondering:
Do Secret Phone Calls + Secret Meetings = Secret Girlfriend?
With the help of her zany, adventurous friends, Ella and Deliah, Laura is determined to find out. But the real question is… does she really want to know?
Losing It is a lighthearted, honest (maybe too honest) look at motherhood and marriage. Complete with misadventures, intrigue and suspense, it will make you laugh and cry, all at the same time.

This is a really nice, fun chick lit read about Laura who is a stay at home mother with two children, 3 year old Nathan and 14 month old Chloe. The author has done a really good job of describing just what it is like to be in that position, constantly at the beck and call of two tiny people, trying to be the perfect mother and hoping that nobody finds out about the short cuts you take. When husband Mike takes on a new client, gorgeous real estate agent Andrea, Laura is not sure whether it is baby brain that is responsible for her feelings of paranoia or whether she really does have something to worry about.
When she confides in her best friends they both start to help her get to the bottom of whether or not her husband is having an affair with Andrea and the result is a fun, easy to read story that had me wanting to scream “don’t do anything so stupid” to Laura as she proceeds to get herself into one hell of a mess.

If you're a mother you'll really groan at this book, although I suspect if you're not a mother you just won't 'get' many of the references.
The lack of energy, the baggy clothes, babysitting the kids with the T.V and then the 'perfect' mothers you compare yourself to.
The book revolves around Laura's suspicions that her husband is having an affair with a client, and the are several laugh out loud moments as she and her friends try to play detective.
The suspense builds up throughout the book but the end when it comes is a but too fast for me, and could have been better.
It's an enjoyable read, and it was nice not to have a skinny, beautiful heroine for a change.

The brutal honesty of motherhood is what hooked me while reading this book. Most books won't tell you about the incidents that involve temper tantrums in the middle of shopping, the judging stares you receive while in public, the true state of one's home after running after children all day, and the constant struggle to find time to think- let alone find time for yourself.
The storyline involving her husband and Andrea was good too. However, I would not have been that calm at the conclusion. Overall, this was a funny, enchanting story. I really enjoyed reading it and realizing that I am not alone in my mommy brain and zany moments of motherhood.

From the beginning of this book I was laughing at Emma's wit. She's fantastic and some of the things that are said in the book are like thoughts pulled from the threads of my own thoughts! You're left waiting until the very end to know what happens to her marriage and if things are really what they seem- and I love it that way. The waiting makes the book worth while, especially since more and more is added to the equation the farther in you get. Her friends are absolutely fabulous and utterly brilliant! They are great friends and add so much to the story with their jokes and also their pains. A beautiful, full of heart and truth story!

Losing It by Emma Bright
Laura Stevens has it all a loving husband, two kids, the perfect life. Then her husband gets a new client and Laura starts to think her husband is having an affair. Determined to find out the truth, with the help of her two friends, she sets up a scheme to find out the truth.
A fast paced laugh out loud, fun story. Laura was funny, she has a great out look on life. She is a bit flawed and neurotic but it gives her character. Written from Laura's point of view we get a great feel of what she is thinking. I recommend to those who like chick-lit, women's fiction, comedy.
