"To be the holder of other people’s loss is to be the keeper of their love. To share your loss with people is another way of giving your love."

The three people that this story follows have all lost their way. They are all kinda of a Hot Mess too! I read a chapter sampler of I Have Lost My Way that I picked up at BookCon and really enjoyed it. The way that Freya, Harun and Nathaniel meet is a little bit scary but pretty hysterical as well.

Freya is a singer recording her debut album and thisclose to being a star, when suddenly, she cannot sing. Harun, recently dumped and struggling internally with a lot of issues, is about to run away from everything. Nathaniel arrives in New York City just that day, with nothing. But his plans are pretty big. The story unfolds in the span of just one day. They meet and the day unfolds in a series of events that has them finding they just may be able to help each other though their problems.

I enjoyed the story a lot as I was sucked in immediately. I found myself rooting for them all and curious to see how things would turn out. Which was a bit abrupt, and you don't get many answers, but it's ultimately satisfying. It's a tale of young love, both losing it and finding it - while also being a story of friendship and family and how they both can help or harm you. But in the end - it's a story of finding yourself and who you want to be, and how it is a struggle for almost everyone to get there.
