The Getaway List by Emma LordMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Riley is now a high school graduate with no real plans. She got rejection letters from every college she applied to … even her safety schools. Although she did get in trouble a few times in high school, she has strived to be a good kid for her mom. In her first real act of rebellion, Riley decides to pack her bag and go to New York City for the weekend. Her best friend, Tom, lives there and they haven’t seen each other in ages. They also created The Getaway List while they lived apart and she thinks this is a good time to knock some of those adventures out of the way. Riley quickly learns she needs more than a weekend … she is staying for the summer!
The Getaway List is a stand-alone romance that had me fully invested after only a few chapters and I kept returning to the book and thinking about it while doing other things. This was a very clean romance that was primarily Riley and Tom not admitting they were attracted to each other. Lord made New York City seem like a place where everyone should spend a summer. I’m not condoning everyone going to NYC against their parent's wishes, but this escape read will have many readers wondering if they should.
