Getting Lost (French: Se perdre) is a 2001 memoir by Annie Ernaux published by Seven Stories Press and distributed by Penguin Random House.

The narrative, consisting of diary entries by Ernaux, explores concepts including love, lust and the fear of abandonment.

In addition to these encounters, other parts of the book described Ernaux's fear of rejection as she awaited her love interest to return her calls.

[3] Writing for The Guardian, Ankita Chakraborty states: "Like Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary, Ernaux’s affair should be counted as one of the great liaisons of literature".

[2] Writing for The Harvard Crimson, Carmine Passarella stated: "What could have been nothing more than a personal diary detailing a secretive and ultimately inconsequential mid-life love affair has, by virtue of excellent storytelling, become a representation of what it means to be human, in all of its embarrassing and reductive glory.
