Publisher's summary

Inescapably romantic and brimming with New York Times bestselling author Emma Lord’s signature cheer, The Getaway List is an uplifting and romantic listen that will settle into your heart and never leave.

The day of her high school graduation, Riley realizes two things: One, that she has spent the last four years trying so hard to be a Good Kid for her mom that she has no idea who she really is anymore, and two, she has no idea what she wants because of it. The solution? Pack her bags and move to New York for the summer, where her childhood best friend Tom and co-creator of The Getaway List—a list of all the adventures they’ve wanted to do together since he moved away—will hopefully help her get in touch with her old adventurous self, and pave the road to a new future.

Riley isn’t sure what to expect from Tom, who has been distant since his famous mom’s scriptwriting career pulled him away. But when Riley arrives in the city, their reconnection is as effortless as it was when they were young—except with one, unexpected complication that will pull Riley’s feelings in a direction she didn’t know they could take. As she, Tom, and their newfound friends work their way through the delightfully chaotic items on The Getaway List, Riley learns that sometimes the biggest adventure is not one you take, but one you feel in your heart.

Critic reviews

"Lord (Begin Again) enriches a familiar “bucket list” premise with leaps-off-the-page atmosphere...depictions of family, friend, and romantic relationships are riddled with humor and rambunctious energy in this inspired carpe diem romp through the city of dreams."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"An entertaining friends-to-lovers story that will have readers laughing and reflecting in equal measure."—Kirkus

Friends to… ?

Lovable characters, light hearted plot, summer friendships & mom drama. The mom parts made me think a little my mother & it helped to hear about Riley’s + Tom’s experiences with their mothers. — also I highly recommend getting this book thru Once Upon A Book Club because they sell a box with book-specific gifts you get to open while reading the book that were cute/relevant & made me feel very connected to the characters.

Ending wrapped up well.

Hard to like the heroine (?). It took awhile to warm to her and sometimes the flow of the story was choppy, but I did enjoy the ending.
