One single night, and Ella is forced to make a decision that will change her life forever. Ella Jensen is seventeen going on eighty—an introvert with vintage sensibilities, zero chill, and a strong aversion to small talk. So when her hippie parents announce they’re moving across the country to rainy Seattle (in the middle of her senior year, no less), Ella is… not thrilled. Cue the identity crisis, the soggy hair, and the emotional unraveling. But then she stumbles upon a box of forgotten love letters in the attic—long, swoony ones from a “Frederick” to a mysterious “Martha.” Suddenly, Ella has a mission. Between deciphering old romance, bonding with her 80-something neighbor Miss T (who might actually be immortal), and accidentally falling for a maddeningly symmetrical German exchange student named Hans, things get complicated fast. And just when she starts to feel like maybe she belongs, life throws her a real curveball—the kind you can’t charm, plan, or read your way out of. Funny, heartfelt, and a little bit weepy, Lost in Seattle is a coming-of-age story for anyone who loves Gilmore Girls and anyone who’s ever felt like they were born in the wrong era, lived in the wrong town, or fell for the wrong person at exactly the wrong time.
