Lost Ones by Nicole French
4.0
"I have a feeling that no matter how long it's been, whether we're twenty or eighty, Layla's always going to be my girl."
I'd like to tell you that Lost Ones picks up right where Bad Idea left us hanging, but that's not what we get. We get so much more....
"Do you ever feel this way?" ... "What way?" ... "Like we can't get close enough?"
The cliffhanger Bad Idea left us with was pretty hard and I'm just glad I was lucky enough to read both books right after another. Lost Ones actually picks up where Bad Idea ended - and I'm not talking about the cliffhanger epilogue. It tells us the story how two lost souls try to find their own ways and at the same time the ways back to each other.
"They tell you how good it feels when you find love for the first time. But no one ever tells you how much love hurts when you have to let it go."
The road we are following Nico and Layla is pretty rocky with lots of cross roads. Each decision they make leads them further apart and brings them closer together at the same time. As a reader you live right in the world of loss and heartbreak all over again.
"We've been lost, floundering around apart, finding only after the damage has been done that it's together that we're found."
My heart aches for both of their lost souls and with each heartbreak my heart got heavier and heavier. The story we follow in Lost Ones is spiked with very heavy topics only to peak in breaking Layla in thousand pieces and more.
"We aren't lost anymore, baby, because we found each other again."
The growth Nico and Layla go through in Lost Ones is pretty impressive. Even though they tend to break each others hearts again and again like they did in Bad Idea. But Lost Ones shows us, that true love exists and it'll always find a way to exist no matter how often you need to pick up the pieces of your heart. True love will always mend what was broken.
"Saudade. ... it's like when you yearn for something or someone. Like your heart speaks to their heart, and when they're gone, it's that emptiness that remains. It's a longing, maybe for something that never even happened." - I saved this quote for the end of my review because it perfectly describes the feeling accompanying you while reading Lost Ones.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
