For anyone who's ever felt lost in an angst-filled world, The Lost Girls offers a moving account of several young women estranged from the society around them. Ranging from urban Los Angeles to small-town America to England, the book follows the adolescence of Hannah and Becky, two best friends who must discover themselves amidst high school pressure, drugs, and confusion. The book also chronicles the travails of Laurel and Alexis, two girls who have opulent homes and an upscale high school but still submit to the drug culture that can't be separated from their lives. Told in sparse, sometimes harsh, language that captures the feel of growing up without direction, The Lost Girls skillfully reveals the shared insecurities that pervade the lives of its characters. Offering a broken tapestry of confusion, as well as glimpses of resolution in an uncertain world, The Lost Girls is a powerful testament to the forms of solitude a young woman can feel and the ways she fights to overcome them.
