Quick synopsis: In this romantic road trip story, a teen girl discovers the value of ordinary objects while learning to forgive her absent father.

After Ali’s father passes away, he leaves his one and only prized possession—a 1968 Firebird convertible—to his daughter. But Ali doesn’t plan on keeping it. Not when it reminds her too much of all her father’s unfulfilled promises. So when she finds a buyer three hundred miles up the Pacific coast willing to pay enough money for the car to save her childhood home, Ali can’t wait to get going. Except Ali has no idea how to drive a stick shift. But guess who does? Ali’s ex-boyfriend, Nico. And Nico has other plans.

Would I recommend?: Yes!
Why?: This book is adorable. It’s another fun, short contemporary romance that’s perfect for the summer...which is exactly why I needed it at the end of September! The Geography of Lost Things will take you on a fun road trip down Route 1 along the California coast with two angsty teenagers who are trying to deny their renewed love for one another.

For me, the reason why I loved this book so much was how completely unpredictable it was. I mean sure, you can surmise that Ali and Nico get back together in the end, but how? And what trouble are they going to get into in the meantime? And what was really up with Ali’s MIA father?

I haven’t enjoyed a contemporary romance like this is a long time. I highly recommend to anyone who needs a little pick-me-up. It’ll leave you grinning for hours.
