I Have Lost My Way

I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Forman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Since first encountering Gayle Forman's "If I Stay" when I was in grad school, I have picked up everything Forman writes without questioning the content of the book. That's how engaging her stories are for me. Engaging was exactly what I needed on Friday when I was stranded in the airport with three hours to kill before my delayed plane took off.

"I Have Lost My Way" again held my attention from start to finish, just like all her others. I didn't wonder what was on my phone or wish I had bought a different, over-priced book from the airport book store. Forman writes in such a way that you immediately connect with her characters and you are strangely invested in them despite the book's fast beginning. I don't always love the "books that happen in a single day" format because you know you'll only get part of the story. Still though, totally worth reading and perfect companion for an afternoon in the Salt Lake airport.

This is a 3.5 for me, but Goodreads still has ignored my request for half-stars. Someday, right? On to the next, and happy reading.
