A Guide to Getting Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234036322)

After a fallout in her small Ohio hometown leaves her labeled as the local cautionary tale, Willa Thorne transfers to Boston hoping for one thing: anonymity. In a city this big, she can finally disappear - just another face in a crowded lecture hall.

But the university's "City Souls" program has other plans. Instead of fading quietly into the background, Willa is assigned a campus guide: Julian Vance.

Julian used to see poetry in skylines and stories in brick buildings. Now he's spent over a year sleepwalking through his life, determined to keep everything, and everyone - at a safe distance. Showing a transfer student around the city is the last thing he wants.

But as Julian reluctantly introduces Willa to Boston's hidden corners - late-night T rides, quiet bookstores, and forgotten streets - they both begin to realize something unexpected.

The city isn't the only thing they're learning how to navigate.

Willa is running from a past that refuses to stay buried, and Julian is standing still inside walls he built to protect himself. As their worlds begin to collide, they'll have to decide what's more dangerous: staying safe... or finally letting someone see who they really are.

A Guide to Getting Lost is a heartfelt story about second chances, finding your voice, and discovering that sometimes the wrong map can lead you exactly where you're meant to be.
