The Getaway Girls - Dee MacDonald

The Getaway Girls – Dee MacDonald (2018)

(4 / 5)

This was a great book! Who would have thought a bunch of ladies taking off to Europe in a caravan would be so much fun!

Connie discovers that she may have some family over in Italy and is feeling like she needs a sea change so decides to buys a caravan and manages to enlist two acquaintances to travel with her to Europe. Soon these three women who are all after retiring age, find themselves having the adventure of their lives! Add some romance, humour and a bit of cash from a bank heist and you have a delightful, fun little novel which is just perfect for a little bit of escapism!

I thought it was just delightful! The characters were just fantastic! They were all different and relatable and I enjoyed all the backstories and it had some wonderfully funny laugh out loud moments!

I really enjoyed their trip around France. When my husband and I first started dating we went on a driving trip around France and parts of Europe and visited a lot of the sights that these ladies visited. The descriptions of the places and sights took me back. We didn’t use a caravan though! That would be so much fun! I am seriously contemplating it for the future!

The romance was really sweet. I really enjoyed the evolution of the characters as they became closer, spilling their secrets and becoming wonderful friends. I was sad when the road trip was over!

I didn’t realise that this was a sequel to the authors first book “The Runaway Wife”. I would really like to read that now to learn more about Connie’s backstory! It didn’t read at all like a sequel, so you don’t have to read them in order.

Would I recommend The Getaway Girls?

Absolutely! It was a delightful, fun read for any age. Something light in between a bunch of high fantasy and thriller books. Just what the doctor ordered!

Many thanks to the author and publisher Bookouture via netgalley for a copy of Getaway Girls to read and review.
