“A triumphant journey about losing yourself, finding yourself and coming home again. Hitch yourself to their ride: you’ll embark on a transformative journey of your own.” — Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of The One That I Want and Time of My Life Three friends, each on the brink of a quarter-life crisis, make a pact to quit their high pressure New York City media jobs and leave behind their friends, boyfriends, and everything familiar to embark on a year-long backpacking adventure around the world in The Lost Girls. With their thirtieth birthdays looming, Jen, Holly, and Amanda are feeling the pressure to hit certain milestones—score the big promotion, find a soul mate, have 2.2 kids. Instead, they make a pact to quit their jobs and set out on a journey in search of inspiration and direction. Traveling 60,000 miles across four continents, Jen, Holly, and Amanda push themselves far outside their comfort zones to embrace every adventure. Ultimately, theirs is a story of true friendship—a bond forged by sharing beds and backpacks, enduring exotic illnesses, trekking across mountains, and standing by one another through heartaches, whirlwind romances, and everything in the world in between.

This could have been a disaster. The first chapter worried me. Three girls who are traveling around the world to find themselves. Egged on, no doubt, by the popular success of the [b:Eat, Pray, Love 19501 Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1294023455s/19501.jpg 3352398] tale. (I love this kind of story, a traveling lost-souls kind of book, so please take that into consideration when you read this review.)I quickly got drawn into the story. The girls are lost, yes, but not hopelessly so. And if they spent more time (much more time, to be honest) partying than I ever would, well, they are twenty-eight, for goodness sake. I liked their choices of spots to visit. I enjoyed their adventures from a happy place here in my reading room. Yes, a nice book.
