How We Were Lost

Well, its that time again for me to lay down another book review and its one I'm very happy to share with you. How We Were Lost by Megan Taylor is a story about Janie, a 14 year old girl who lives in a small seaside town ravaged by tourists and the current hot spot for a story concerning two missing girls. In the middle of all this, Janie does her best to escape the reality of her dysfunctional family by daydreaming about these two girls and her part in her desire to find them.

Then things get real messy.

Between growing tensions in her own home dealing primarily with her older sister Diane and her aunt Rene, her daydreaming quickly becomes an obsession that not only leads her deeper into finding out the truth behind the two girls, but her own mother disappearance eleven years ago, which transforms the book in it's story in a quite amazing way. Soon, she finds herself in the middle of learning more about her family's past, the world of adulthood and the secrets held within her sisters locked metal box that Janie is far from prepared for.

In the end, Janie will never be the same.

I found this book amazing and hope that you take the time to check it out to see if its for you as well.
