Book# 1 The Lost Girls - Jennifer Baggett, Holly C Corbett & Amanda Pressner

This was my first book of 2012, I wasn't sure if I would like it as I have always been a fiction reader, but I was pleasently surprised.  I really enjoyed following  Jennifer, Holly and Amanda as they set out to find themselves.    At several points throughout the book I found myself thinking that it would have been a lot of fun to do what they did, just up and leave your job and head out for a once in a lifetime adventure with your friends. 

  Here is the publishers run down on the book.

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | April 18, 2011 | Trade Paperback

With their thirtieth birthdays looming, Jen, Holly, and Amanda are feeling the pressure to hit certain milestonesÂ-score the big promotion, find a soul mate, have 2.2 kids. Instead, they make a pact to quit their jobs, leave behind everything familiar, and embark on a yearlong round-the-world search for inspiration and direction.
Traveling 60,000 miles across four continents, Jen, Holly, and Amanda push themselves far outside their comfort zones to embrace every adventure. Ultimately, theirs is a story of true friendshipÂ-a bond forged by sharing beds and backpacks, enduring exotic illnesses, trekking across mountains, and standing by one another through heartaches, whirlwind romances, and everything in the world in between.
