Let Get Lost English Edition Adi Alsaid Books

Let’s Get Lost is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive debuts I’ve read this 2014! Beautiful writing, complex and varied characters and memorable stories – these things all added up to become this awesome book.

The novel is composed of five separate stories told by five different characters – Hudson (a mechanic’s son granted the incredible opportunity to interview for a college scholarship), Bree (a girl who lives for the moment, the road, and the adrenaline rush of doing what she likes), Eliot (a boy in love with his best friend), Sonia (a girl who has loved, and lost, and is afraid to love again) and Leila (the girl on a road trip to the Northern Lights, who ties all these stories together with her presence).

Each of these characters just felt so real. I’ve said that before, about many books, but really, that’s the best adjective I can come up with when I think about Let’s Get Lost. Each person is at a turning point in their lives, struggling to figure out what their next, their best move can be. It’s difficult not to stray into the land of caricature, especially when each character is so different and could be a stereotype. But somehow, Alsaid manages to write each character in a way that makes them come alive off the pages, flawed, imperfect, alive. I felt like I could be friends with each person, and that, more than anything, had me tearing through the pages.

The stories, too, are compelling. Each one actually captures a short span of time in the character’s life, whether it’s a night, a few hours, or a couple of days. This, too, captured something that felt authentic. Sometimes, there are people we only encounter for a brief moment in our lives, but they forever change our course. It’s truly the essence of Let’s Get Lost to some extent, and I greatly appreciate the quiet truth in that. Plus, it also helps that each experience shared is colorful, offbeat and pretty funny too!

Basically, there’s something about Adi Alsaid’s writing that feels positively magical. Let’s Get Lost is a contemporary tale about a girl on a road trip who changes people’s lives. But it also feels like a challenge to rediscover some of the things that are important in life: standing up for what you want, allowing yourself to forgive and be forgiven, taking risks for something you believe in, kindness to others, encouragement, communication, love. The combination of story + reflection worked incredibly well, as I really felt drawn into reading time and again.

Just writing this review for Let’s Get Lost has made me want to read it again. Immediately. There’s just something about these stories and these characters that really resonated with me. This novel is going to be one of those that I know deserves a place on my shelf, as I can see myself returning to it time and again. It’s going to be a story that lingers with me for a while, and I love that. Consider this review my recommendation to read this one, stat.

Let Get Lost English Edition Adi Alsaid Books Reviews

Fantastic read, definitely would recommend to others. I have recently started a job that requires me to take a long ride on trains/buses. I started buying up some books to kill time and get back into reading. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel for many reasons. The characters and story are compelling while realistic. The style of this novel is that of several short stories that start new adventures while not disregarding the previous plot. The story kept me eagerly reading the entire time while also making me think. You'll definitely want to go back and re-read it after. Definitely glad I bought this book.
This book was different from what I had anticipated. I think I was expecting a YA version of On The Road written from the female perspective (I have to admit that I don't know why I expected this). Instead, this is a series of short stories that don't seem all that connected except through the presence of the main character. Each story is a nice chapter unto itself, but we don't learn a lot about the main character during the course of the book until we reach her story in the last portion. I do think that the book is geared toward a different audience and younger individuals attempting to find themselves may be able to relate more to the characters.

This is not a bad book, it's simply not quite what I had expected.
Let's Get Lost is sweet, quirky, and more than slightly implausible in places, but it's one of those books where the characters act like and say things you wish people would in real life.

Leila is a free spirited young woman on the ultimate road trip—she's headed from her home in Louisiana to see the Northern Lights, which she has always wanted to see. Driving her bright red car, moving from place to place, she comes upon several different people, each in a time of need or dealing with an emotional crisis. Acting as a cross between a fairy godmother and a partner in crime (sometimes literally), Leila tries to help each of them find a way to solve their problems, winding up in some interesting and occasionally zany situations.

In Vicksburg, Mississippi, she comes upon Hudson, a young mechanic who has a great deal of pride in his hometown, but is heading toward a life-changing opportunity. On a highway in Kansas, she encounters Bree, a runaway shouldering some heavy emotional burdens, but who still has a zeal for seizing opportunities that come her way. Leila finds Elliot in Burnsville, Minnesota on the night of his high school prom, when he's dealing with disappointment that his love of the movies had never prepared him for. And in British Columbia, Leila crosses paths with Sonia, a young woman with a tough decision to make.

To each of the people she encounters, Leila appears as a mystery and a savior (although their interactions don't always end with them feeling the same way), and she helps them find solutions to the things that are bothering or worrying them—sometimes she guides them, sometimes she helps them find the answers within themselves. While the issues they deal with aren't unusual, sometimes the manner in which they try and solve their problems is, and that's where the book sometimes loses steam, because the situations they find themselves in a few times are just too implausible.

But Hudson, Bree, Elliot, and Sonia aren't the only ones changed by these experiences. As helpful as she is, Leila, too, has her own issues, and her own journey of self-discovery to make, and it takes her to Alaska and back. She, too, realizes there aren't always answers to the questions that plague us.

I enjoyed this book a lot, even if I had to suspend disbelief a few times. This is a book about realizing that as insurmountable as your problems may seem, you can actually solve them—all it takes sometimes is the opportunity to talk them out with someone, plus a little faith. It's also the story of how it's so much easier to help others than it can be to help yourself. It's an emotional, funny, sweet book.

I really liked the characters and felt that Adi Alsaid did a great job giving them complexity. Each of the sections of the book read like their own novellas—I just wish that I knew where things ended for them. That's definitely a mark of a good storyteller.
