I love discovering a new to me author and then finding out that they have a backlist to explore. I read Summer of Salt by Katrina Lenobooks last year, and I absolutely loved it, so I was very happy to learn that she had written three other books (and she has a new one coming out this spring). The Lost and Found is about two teens who met and became friends in an online support group for trauma survivors. It’s a lovely book, and it has a road trip, family secrets, lost things, and a little bit of magic.

Honestly this book was nothing what I expected, when I first picked it up I thought it was going to be similar to Papar Towns since it has the quote "sometimes you have to get lost before you can be found" on the cover but it has its own unique story! I loved Katrina's (the author) writing and it honestly was an amazing moving story.

I really enjoyed this. I really related to Louis a lot and some of his chapters were hard for me to read. I thought the premise of this was really interesting and I loved how grief and loss were talked about.

Overall I liked this book. The characters were cute and lovable. It had a sense of adventure. Sad at times. There was one element I didn’t understand and wish it was explained. But overall a cute and quick read.

In this book, we are introduced to Frannie and Louis who have met online. They are penpals who have commonalities but have never met in person. They start off not even knowing each other’s real names, despite revealing some of their deepest secrets to one another. Both characters have had some hard times in their lives and it has influenced the world around them.
When their two worlds overlap, they soon learn that they must reveal the true self and they meet. It is a book that has a road trip and an adventure to go with it. While trying to discover their past and despite feeling lost, they end up finding just what they are looking for. The plot weaves together in a way that is meaningful.
While I was reading this book, I couldn’t help but imagine this as a movie. I thought that the plot would be interesting to be played on the big screen. I hope that will happen someday! This book was a cute read and I think if you enjoy John Green type stories (think Looking for Alaska) you would probably enjoy this one as well.

I think I really enjoyed it, but two weeks after finishing it I can't really remember, so three stars it is.

This is a sweet but bland book. The author tries for quirky in the characters, but it doesn't ring true. Teens who enjoy dialogue-heavy, low-intensity stories will probably like this.
