Four teens across the country have only one thing in common: a girl named LEILA. She crashes into their lives in her absurdly red car at the moment they need someone the most. 

There's HUDSON, a small-town mechanic who is willing to throw away his dreams for true love. And BREE, a runaway who seizes every Tuesday—and a few stolen goods along the way. ELLIOT believes in happy endings…until his own life goes off-script. And SONIA worries that when she lost her boyfriend, she also lost the ability to love. 

Hudson, Bree, Elliot and Sonia find a friend in Leila. And when Leila leaves them, their lives are forever changed. But it is during Leila's own 4,268-mile journey that she discovers the most important truth— sometimes, what you need most is right where you started. And maybe the only way to find what you're looking for is to get lost along the way.

After finishing reading Let's Get Lost, I still am not sure if should review this book as one story or as four little, somewhat seperate stories bound together by one girl in a red car who drives through all of them. Let's go to what I thought of it alltogether: the plot was quite untinteresting. The four teens and the situations they found themselves in where quite boring and flat. I didn't care a bit for any of the characters and thought at many points what the point of their part in the story was. Mostly the character who's turn it was in the book, had to make it up at some points with somebody else, be it a boy/girlfriend or a family member, and Leila was wondrously the one who could help them fix it. And i found it a bit unbelievable that every teen in the story just stepped into Leila's car as they all did not know her at that point. (maybe not the wisest thing to step in a stranger's car). I think younger teens will maybe like this. Overall, Let's Get Lost was just a disappointment. I do not recommend it.
