Lillian Clark asked Lizzy Mason:

Your book sounds incredible. Raw and difficult, but so necessary. Since Audrey suffers from amnesia after the accident, can you talk a bit about the role memory plays in THE ART OF LOSING?

Lizzy Mason Thank you so much! Memory plays a role in a couple of ways in this book. First, Audrey has lost the memory of betraying Harley, so how can Harley stay mad at her when she doesn't remember what she did? Which means Harley has to make the tough decision whether to tell Audrey or let her go back to being the person she was before her betrayal.

But also, each chapter is followed by a flashback, revealing glimpses of Harley's life before the Worst Night Ever and showing how things reached the point that they did. The flashbacks piece together a different perspective on Harley's relationships with Audrey, her boyfriend, and the boy next door who remembers her in a very different way than she does herself.

Thank you so much for asking!!
