Critical Praise

"For anyone-young or old, female or male-who has ever been tempted to trade in the rat race for the thrill and adventure of long-term global travel. And after reading this book, don’t be surprised if you want to do just that."

—David Farley, author of An Irreverent Curiosity

"The three authors, all gifted writers...provide passionate, vivid descriptions of their far-flung travels, bolstered by thoughtful insights and genuine intentions, making this an intensely enjoyable read for fans of travel writing....immediately relatable for any twenty-something unsure of his or her future (i.e., most of them)."

—Publishers Weekly

"Brave, funny, and deeply moving, The Lost Girls is a real-life fairy tale for anyone who’s ever wanted to chuck it all and see the world with a best friend on each arm."

—Cathy Alter, author of Up for Renewal: What Magazines Taught Me About Love, Sex, and Starting Over

"[P]otentially serious side effects [include] chronic wanderlust; severe allergic reactions to the daily grind; and an incurable desire to toss that Blackberry down a drain….Three cheers to the Lost Girls for showing us, with good humor and graceful prose, the beauty and importance of leading life astray."

—Franz Wisner, New York Times Bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother
