Cordelia Packer is going to see her sister in northern California, leaving from her home in San Diego, but she doesn't have a travel partner. Until Jacob (Cordelia's older sister's ex-boyfriend), who is totally obnoxious but cute, offers to travel along with her.
Cordelia has the trip all planned out, with an itinerary -- there are even scheduled rest stops. This is how she does everything.
But that's not how Jacob does anything! He likes to take his time and not rush through anything. Cordelia knows that the trip is off to a bad start when Jacob shows up at noon when he was supposed to be there at nine!
While they are in the desolate, California desert -- the car breaks down. How will perfectionist Cordelia and wild child Jacob handle the situation? And will Cordelia be able to stay faithful to her perfect boyfriend?
I really liked reading this kind of predictable book. There were enough twists and turns to keep you interested! GETTING LOST WITH BOYS is a very fun book to read while basking in the sun!”
“If you want a good teen romance this is a good one to read.”

At first they fight a lot but then when they are together for so long they learn more about each other and it turns out that they have more in common that they really thought. I thought this whole story was really cute because its what everyone could wish for but also it was very predictable. I read this over the summer so it was a good quick read and i thought it was fun while it lasted, but it was not one of the long deep books you can really get into. ”

“Cordelia is appalled when she hears from her mother that she will be accompanying Jacob Stein on a road trip from Sand Diego to Eureka. Jacob, who happens to be Cordelia's ex-boyfriend, is anything but nice. He has always ridiculed Cordelia, criticized her every move and openly pointed to her flaws. Can you blame her for not wanting to go with him? From the very beginning, their road trip has brought nothing but trouble, fights, and awkwardness, and Cordelia start wondering if she can remain sane until they reach their destination. But soon, both Jacob and Cordelia learn more about each other; the reason behind their behavior and actions. Will sparks fly between those bickering youths? Read to find out.

I loved this book; from the very beginning you felt that trouble was awaiting Cordelia and Jacob. But through their troubles and their little adventures, the protagonists go to know each other, and the readers got to empathizes with them as well. This is a coming-of-age story that teaches you to embrace your fears instead of fending them off; all written in an engaging plot and illustrated through hilarious conversations. I would have added it as a favorite, if only I didn't feel that its ending was a wee bit dissatisfactory.

“good quick fun read.”

“This was such a great book! It is one of my top 5 favorite books because it's super funny and exciting! It's about a girl who is a total goody-goody going on a road trip with her older sister's ex-boyfriend(because her parents forced her to) and discovering a lot about her life and about who she truly is inside.”
