Summary via Goodreads:

Five strangers. Countless adventures.One epic way to get lost.

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.

Why I'm Waiting...

All the wanderlust and nostalgia!!!!!!

Traveling and getting lost in my late teens and twenties have made all the difference. One of my fondest memories is when I got lost in Barcelona trying to find the Gaudi Sculpture park. I went up the back side of the mountain, no water and totally exhausted. However, it made finding the park so much sweeter. I hope I will never forget that feeling.

Oddly, I've never road tripped in the U.S., most of my traveling has occurred in foreign countries. Maybe Let's Get Lost will be the inspiration!

Summer + Road Trip + Friendships = sounds like a recipe for laughter and feels :)
