Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
5.0
Let’s Get Lost by Adi Alsaid is a wonderful book about discovering who you are and learning who your family is. I enjoyed Let’s Get Lost immensely and felt it was really well written. It’s a poignant young adult novel. I would definitely read another book by this author because she has engaging characters that you really care about and an unforgettable story.
Leila is on a quest to go see the northern lights. She just knows that the answers she is seeking will be there. Along the way she makes some wonderful new friends that make an impact on her life and she on theirs. When she meets Hudson her car needs fixing and he is just the guy for the job. The two of them have a connection and he says he wants forever but he is afraid to leave home. She hopes they will reconnect at a later time. Then she meets Bree a girl who left her past behind her but knows there is something missing. They end up in jail together and Bree ends up finding out what really matters in life. Elliot is a bit dazed and confused when they cross paths. He has been rejected by the love of his life and doesn’t know what direction to go in next. With a little push from Leila things may work out the way he’s always dreamed. Sonia has everything she has ever wanted in her current boyfriend but can’t get over her past loss because she feels she is betraying him. She embarks on a mission to cross the border into Canada to get the ring to his sister’s ring to her on time for her wedding and finds the journey to be life changing. These four chance encounters mean so much to Leila and they make an impact that she won’t soon forget. Once Leila makes it to the Northern lights will she find what she is looking for? Or will she be sorely disappointed?
I really enjoyed Let’s Get Lost because it invoked so many emotions along the way. It was a powerful story about friendship, love, and family. It had the perfect blend of adventure, love, drama. Let’s Get Lost was well worth the read and I know I will revisit Let’s Get Lost again in the future, and I don’t reread books very often. My favorite character is one of the characters we meet last. I really liked Dee, the little girl at the campsite when Leila reaches her destination. She is a very thoughtful little girl and I feel that she made the most difference in her life. I thought that she was quite the little character and she was smart beyond her years. Leila is a close second because she is a brave character. We don’t learn much about her until the last 15% of the book but it is well worth the wait. I thought her story was the most emotionally charged of them all. What she lost was far more than I expected. I would highly recommend Let’s Get Lost to those who enjoy young adult fiction but be prepared to pull out a tissue or two while you read.
