The Getaway List by Emma Lord

By Q on July 12, 2024

Emma Lord's The Getaway List is my 5th by the author, so at this point, I feel safe saying this: She is not writing rom coms. She is writing family dramas with rom com elements. Someone please check on Emma. I think her family life may have been troubling growing up.

Anyway, The Getaway List finds us on her 3rd book in NYC. This time with our lead sort of running away from home after realizing her mom has kept her away from her best friend for years.

This one and When You Get the Chance are my least favorite Lord books. They're both fun in their own ways, but they also felt more forced than the others.

Because it is still technically in the rom com genre, we know how the book is going to end from the beginning. The problem is it never felt like there were any stakes. I never felt properly pulled in, like I really cared about the characters.

With You Have a Match, Tweet Cute, and Begin Again, there were times I was genuinely upset. But this one and When You Have the Chance never felt like they had real stakes.

This was a Hallmark movie of a book. And that's good enough. I don't regret it, but it won't be one a revisit any time soon.
