The Getaway List by Emma Lord

 

The Getaway List by Emma Lord is a fun-loving young adult story. Riley has had it with her overprogrammed life, being the only one in her high school with all college rejections, and she is missing her best friend, Tom. Tom lives in New York City and seems so different from when Riley last saw him before high school. They have not been able to connect over the last few years.

This is such a great story from the perspective of what it is like to be a young adult right after high school. Tom and Riley are old friends from grade school who have changed, but still are able to connect years later. This story sparkled for me and I enjoyed my journey with Tom and Riley! The author made me feel like I was hanging out with their friends and exploring New York City!

The Getaway List allows you to relive that part of life right after high school when you are still freer from commitments and trying to figure out life! The characters are endearing, the setting of NYC fantastic, and you will leave the book with many new friends! I recommend The Getaway List by Emma Lord.

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
