From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—An achingly beautiful story about the profound impacts of opening oneself to a stranger. Seventeen-year-old Leila, on a road trip to Alaska, gives each person she encounters a different reason for traveling to see the Northern Lights. First she meets Hudson, the best mechanic around and a medical school hopeful. With him she finds love but not before she leaves Hudson's dreams in shambles. As she continues her journey, Leila picks up hitchhiker Bree, whose skewed moral compass and heavy baggage land the girls in jail overnight. The protagonist is pivotal in Bree's intervention, pushing her to work things out with her orphaned sister. Next is Elliot, whom Leila almost kills with her distinctive too-red car. These two conspire to use '80s movies as inspiration to convince Elliot's unrequited love of his true feelings. Lastly, the teen consoles Sonia, who has lost and found love at the most inconvenient and confusing time in her life. They embark on a quest to smuggle missing wedding rings across the Canadian border, while Leila coaxes Sonia into letting go of her past and embracing the future. Readers learn little about Leila's motivations until the very end, when her tragic truth is revealed and some questions are still left unanswered. Reminiscent of John Green's Paper Towns (Dutton, 2008) and road trip novels that feature a teen paving the way to adulthood, Alsaid's debut is a gem among contemporary YA novels.—Jamie-Lee Schombs, Loyola School, New York City

A few years ago, a group of friends and I took a drive to Nashville, Tennessee and it was so much fun. While reading Let's Get Lost, I would frequently have flashbacks to my own road trip. But the really cool thing about this book is that it's not told from Leila's (the girl on the road trip) point of view. It's seen through the eyes of those she meets along the way. I personally love this concept. It reminds you that the amount of time that you meet someone no way shapes how much of an impact they can have on your life. I can think of quite a few people who I've only met on a few occasions and how memories of them make me smile or laugh.Let's Get Lost starts off with Hudson. A recent high school graduate who works in a garage. Hudson is getting ready to leave home for college, and is about to go on the interview of a lifetime. Pretty much the interview that will make or break his start for college. When Hudson meets Leila there is is this instant attraction. And honestly, it's just so freaking cute. I adored these two together. It's a love at first sight that is done correctly, and I ate it up. I wanted their story to just keep going. And without spoiling it, as that first story was concluding I had this sense of dread. I really didn't want it to end. But it did it's job. It drew me in, and I just kept wanting to read.Each of the people that Leila meets along the way are all interesting. They each have their own story. Bree and Leila give us the "Thelma and Louise" story. Which really was a riot to read. When Elliot is introduced, it reminded us that a guy and a girl can be just friends, and in some cases they can't. Sonia showed us that it is okay to move on, and that we as humans really are too hard on ourselves. But one of the things I thought was interesting that the author did was he didn't try to connect each story. You can actually read each story separately. Because in the end that's what they really are, short stories. Yeah there are one or two subtle references at the previous stories, but they're so quick that you would read write past them unless you knew they were there.But as memorable as each of the characters are, in the back of my mind that first story with Hudson was always there. I found myself hoping that it would be revisited, and I don't like putting spoilers in my reviews so you'll just have to read the book to find out. ;-) But I will say in the final story a lot of questions are answered. I really loved this book. It's so interesting to read about someone's journey through the eyes of other people. I think that's what really makes this book. Because you know Leila, but at the same time you don't. She's a mystery that gets solved as you read.Reviewed by Sana @ Step Into Fiction
8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. I wish I could have enjoyed this more By Kristen @ Pretty Little Pages I have a problem. I always get caught up in hype for books. It soars to the top of my to-read list, I scramble to get my hands on it, and then I'm let down like no other. That's sort of how Let's Get Lost was for me. It's been one of my most anticipated books of the summer. For me, the synopsis was misleading. I thought this was going to be about an epic road trip with a mixture of teenagers. It wasn't. It's more like a compilation of five short stories with only one thread holding them together. There are five parts to the book; Hudson's story, Bree's Story, Elliot's story, Sonia's story, and finally, Leila's story. Leila is the common denominator in all of the stories. I didn't enjoy the character of Leila at all and the narration didn't help me bond with her either. There was too much focus on how she looked and affected the other characters instead of just focusing on her as a person.Hudson- This was my least favorite story of the book. I think it really set the tone for how I would perceive Leila, and it wasn't a good thing. At this point, I still expected the book to be focused on a road trip as the blurb suggests. It wasn't. I was immensely bored with this part. It seemed to drag on and on needlessly.Bree- I think I liked this story the best. There wasn't a focus on Leila's looks for once. It was refreshing. Even though a lot of the elements of this story were a cliche, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Bree was a character that I would have rather learned more about instead of Leila.Elliot- If you ever look in the encyclopedia for books that end too perfectly, this part of the book would be there. Elliot was an alright character. A bit cliched, but I was expecting it at this point. But the way this part ends? Too sickeningly sweet.Sonia- Besides with Bree, this was the only time that I felt like Leila was truly on an adventure. Her and Sonia were enjoyable to read. I want more of Stoner Timmy. I was confused at how quickly this story sped towards the ending, though.Leila- Like I mentioned before, I didn't feel much for Leila. Her story didn't change that. While I have sympathy for what she went through, I still felt no connection to her. There were a lot of predictable things that culminated into one big facepalm at the end. I struggle with rating this book. At times, I saw the potential. It's undeniable that Adi Alsaid has talent with writing. But I feel like this book fell so short on what it could have been. Striving for the perfect ending for every character overshadowed the stories they had to tell.**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review with no compensation.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Enthralling By OpenBookSociety dot com Brought to you by OBS reviewer JoAnneLeila first shows up at the garage belonging to Hudson’s father. Hudson is a mechanic there, sees Leila, and immediately falls in love with the girl with long black hair and green eyes. While fixing her car, he convinces her to allow him to show her “treasures” in the town. Hudson soon discovers that Leila is on a journey to see the Northern Lights before she goes back to school. For his part, he has an interview the next day with the dean of Ole Miss, one that could get him a full scholarship, since he can’t afford college otherwise. The evening they spend together is one that makes him see the world in an entirely different view. However, when they part the next day things are said that cannot be unsaid, and Leila continues on her journey……where she meets Bree, and the story is told through her eyes…each part of Leila’s journey is told through the eyes of the others, until the last is told through hers. Bree has left home after too much fighting with her sister, who was raising her. Elliot (my favorite story) is pining for the girl he has loved all his life. Sonia is pining for the love she lost, and the new one found. The last part of the story is told by Leila, and we find out the true reason she is on this journey.It is not a whim, it is a need born of despair and hope. We do not find out until then why she is where she is, only that she has touched these people and, in her own unique way, helped them along their own journeys in life.I read this book in the space of a day (and it’s not a short book 352 pages), but it was so enthralling and interesting that I felt I could do no less. Leila’s story is bittersweet, in the fact that she finally accepts the things that have happened, even if she doesn’t understand the reasons. It is a book not so much about travel, but about the journey of life and what brings us to where we are. I wish I could say more about the book, but to do so would be giving too much away and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. All I can say is that I absolutely loved this book and it is highly recommended for everyone.Visit OpenBookSociety dot com for this review and more!
