4.4/5

reader rating · 549 ratings

The Lost Girls is a group memoir in which three Manhattan media professionals — Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, and Amanda Pressner — quit their jobs, leave their boyfriends, and spend a year backpacking 60,000 miles across four continents. Published by HarperCollins in May 2010, the book is an entertaining portrait of friendship under pressure and the cost of a quarter-life detour, though critical reception was split: critics praised the authors' vivid, passionate writing as an intensely enjoyable read for travel-writing fans, while Kirkus Reviews found the narrative unable to fully convey the depth of what the trio experienced.
