Mine to Lose is a story of Emogen (Em) and Ryan (Ry) who are happily engaged to be married. Things seem perfect to Em, until Ryan accepts a job relocation without discussing it with Emogen first. So a long distance relationship begins.Things seem to be going well. Until secrets, half-truths, and jealousy take over and ends the relationship both Emogen and Ryan thought would always last.Life continues to go on, although not as easily as Em would hope for. After receiving a phone call, Em rushes home to a injured mother, a worried sister, and a caring Ryan. An accident causes Em to keep more secrets and questions she has to answer for herself.When a event brings Ryan and Emogen together again secrets are revealed, tears are shared, and a understanding is reached. When Ryan returns home, Em and Ry have to figure out if their relationship is the end of their story or if it was just a fork in the road of life.This book was a refreshing change of pace for me, it was realistic (fictional or not). Life isn't always easy, and even if there are true fairytales out there, this book was able to make me feel each emotion that the characters felt. Yes there were times I wanted to throw my kindle against the wall, yell at my kindle, or have my tears wiped off of my screen but that just made it that much more real. I can't wait to read more from this author, who seems to breathe real life, not just fantasy or fairytales (although I love those too).
