Running away from possible bad news, Lauren Chase, our heroine, finds herself almost hopelessly lost when a road trip goes wrong. Lauren enters a dust storm on a highway, and, when the dust is cleared she's entering the town LOST. Her first impressions of this town, well, I'm sure we'd share if we were in her place. But Lauren decides that as weird as the town is, it is still better than going back out on the highway this late at night when you have no idea where you are and how to get back to civilization. One of the many weird things about the town is how all the residents act like they know something she doesn't: that she'll not be leaving town anytime soon, that she's just as stuck as they are. Lauren tries to leave town. Most of the day she tries to leave town, to no avail. No one is surprised to see the newbie return to town frustrated and confused. They tell her to find the Missing Man. He might be able to help her find what she's lost and enable her to leave the town of Lost.
The Lost has two symbolic characters, the "Missing Man" and the "Finder." Lauren ends up meeting both men...
In the past, Lauren has evaded her feelings. She's not dealt with everything that has happened in her life. But now, she almost has no choice but to own up to her feelings and reflect on the past and go through her memories one by one. Her focus is on the "possible" bad news. Her mother's latest test results. Is the cancer back? Is it terminal? How long does her mother have left?
Will Lauren find her own way out of Lost? Does she even want to leave Lost?

Hi Becky, good synopsis but what did you think of the book? Would you recommend it?
It's definitely part of a series, and sometimes with series books it's hard for me to see if it's "love" or "really like" based on the first book alone. I would recommend it. I am curious to see where the story goes and how it all ends. I definitely liked it enough to want to read more!
