I have Lost My Way is a book written about 3 characters, all so young in age that feel like there is nothing left in life after they suffer great loss in their personal life. Sometimes we can lose something, not because a person dies, but because of circumstances and this is the problem a lot of people in this world feel. This author has taken the opportunity to write this book and I personally feel like it was a gift for me to read it, and can be for others as well, no matter what age we may be. This book is listed as young adult but I think it has something to say to all of us, no one has gone through their lives without feeling losses, and the repercussions.

This book tells the story of 3 people, Freya a young girl who has lost her voice while trying to put out her debut album; Harun who is gay and has lost his first boyfriend, and he comes from a background that is impossible to understand him; and Nathaniel who has lost his father and gone to New York City with his backpack, little money and no plans.

This book takes place all in one day, however each character fills in what their life has been like and what it is now, and how they come together in the same place right at the same time, not because they know each other but because it is fate.

After losing love, finding love and discovering who you are, all of them and being thrown together somehow, this is a story about finding someone besides yourself feeling the same way and having the ability to look past their own lives to help another. I gave this book 5***** stars and am so glad I read this book!
