Fleeing her mother’s potentially bad test results, Lauren
Chase skips out of work, gets in her car and drives straight East out of
LA. When the radio will only play static
and there hasn’t been a turnoff or even another vehicle in what feels like hours
does Lauran come out of her trance and realizes she needs to turn around. After an inconvenient dust storm, an off ramp
appears that leads Lauren to a small town with a ‘Welcome to Lost’ sign. Since it’s getting late, Lauren pulls into a
crumbling motel to rest for the night before heading back to her mother. She encounters some very strange folk in her
short stay in Lost. On her way out of
town in the morning she gets caught in the dust storm again and is lead back to
Lost. Again and again until she runs out
of gas. It’s official: Lauren is Lost.
This was a stay up late read for me. Like Wonderland and Oz, Lost is a magical
place that can be both magnificent and dangerous. I definitely got lost in this book (lame pun intended, sorry).
