The Art of Losing is a compelling debut that explores issues of addiction sisterhood and loss.
On one terrible night 17-year-old Harley Langston's life changes forever. At a party she discovers her younger sister Audrey hooking up with her boyfriend Mike — and she abandons them both in a rage.
When Mike drunkenly attempts to drive Audrey home he crashes and Audrey ends up in a coma. Now Harley is left with guilt grief pain and the undeniable truth that her ex-boyfriend (who is relatively unscathed) has a drinking problem.
So it's a surprise that she finds herself reconnecting with Raf a neighbor and childhood friend who's recently out of rehab and still wrestling with his own demons. At first Harley doesn't want to get too close to him. But as Audrey awakens and slowly recovers Raf starts to show Harley a path forward that she never would have believed possible — one guided by honesty forgiveness and redemption.
