Around the time that Freya loses her voice while recording her debut album, Harun is making plans to run away from everyone he has ever loved, and Nathaniel is arriving in New York City with a backpack, a desperate plan, and nothing left to lose. 

When a fateful accident draws these three strangers together, their secrets start to unravel as they begin to understand that the way out of their own loss might just lie in help­ing the others out of theirs.

The Review: “Tears are not blood coloured, and no one cries for him. Still, he is riveted by the trail the bloody tear tracks down her cheek. It is the prettiest of the flowers, the loveliest of scars.”

Gayle Forman is one of my favourite authors so with each new release I always find myself eager to get my hands on a copy of her book and so far she has never let me down. 

I Have Lost My Way is the story of three teens and how they meet in Central Park. It’s about how different people measure sadness, complex relationships and just wanting someone to understand you and still want to know you after that.

I adore how Gayle told this story being using three different narratives/points of view without getting confusing or losing each separate voice. I Have Lost My Way is a powerful novel and completely relevant. 

Thank you to Simon Kids UK for giving me the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.
