Aubrey travels to the start point of the tour: Amsterdam! But...when she lands at Amsterdam airport and leaves the plane, she forgets to take her tour schedule binder and cell phone there, so she is missing crucial information for the tour.
She is supported by phone though by the company owner's son, a very nice guy named Sam. Funny thing is that Sams joins the tour on one of the stops after Amsterdam, and is quite a cool guy either. The people on the tour make a colorful cast of characters as well: a bit weird couple from Texas, a history teacher who helps Aubrey with historic information about specific castles in Germany. All the way through Europe, she is keeping up appearrance and pretending she is Elizabeth, but slowly, little bursts starts to appear and someone from the tour even confess he knows what she is doing. And then someone from the tour is found dead, and the friendship (or is it something else) between her and Sam is tested when she confesses the truth to him.
I was looking for a book to read that didn't make me stop reading after the first pages. I picked up Wanderlost, as I have read other titles by Jen Malone before, and found exactly what I was looking for. A GREAT READ! From the first page on to the great ending, this book had me hooked. The plot is just fantastic. I may repeat myself again, but books with many plot twists and turns and a great cast of characters in a great backdrop setting like this are always my favorites. It was like watching a funny play where someone is hiding a secret by pretending she is her sister. You can feel on your socks of course that this is not going well until the end(especially when one traveler is found dead and she has to get involved with the American embassy) but in Aubrey's case, because she is such a good hearted and nice character, she learns from it and discovers more about her self during her trip to Europe, away from her safe room in Ohio. The love story between her and Sam (he is so cool!) was very entertaining. I will not include to many spoilers about this though, go find out and read it for yourself! I truly enjoyed this gem of a YA novel and highly recommend it!
