Lost in Thought is a standalone novel about life and free will by Deborah Serra. Released 22nd Oct 2024, it's 256 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links throughout.
It's intrinsically human to think "what if" about decisions we made, and that's what the author elevates to art throughout this contemplative novel. Content includes covid, loss, adoption, trauma, and how seemingly innocuous minor choices have follow on effects. Readers will either resonate with the contemplative nature of the writing or else be frustrated by the hazy and undefined navel gazing.
Three and a half stars. Serious and bleak in places. The writing is disjointed and uneven in places, but overall intriguing.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
