What would you do...

...if your best friend were plotting the annihilation of a small, furry neighborhood poodle? Or if your parents up and moved to an Outward Bound-type survival camp in the middle of the desert? How about if your grandmother bought you new bras and underwear -- and you actually thought they were a teensy bit, umm, sexy?

Most people would not react well.

Tess Whistle's junior year of high school is off to a fairly bizarre start. One might even say her life is spiraling out of control. But with her sense of humor firmly intact and her first real boyfriend on her arm, Tess is dealing with the ridiculous twists quite well, thankyouverymuch.

Just wait until her shoes explode.

Review:

Lost It was an excellent book right from the beginning. It had a brilliant storyline and was written very well. The book involved love, lies, escape and a teenage girl trying to find herself, so you know it’s easy for teenagers to relate to the book without problems. Although, I would recommend strongly not allowing people under the age of 15 to read the book as it has rather descript, explicit sexual references. The one problem I did have with the book was the ending. Tess made a big mistake and didn’t handle it at all well and even though she accepts this it’s never really fun to see an ending that isn’t terribly happy, and could be titled rather miserable in fact. So overall, the book was addictive and hard to put down. I recommend it and I’d give it 4/5 stars.
