The Getaway List by Emma Lord
5.0

Dear Emma Lord - if you write it, I will read it. I would even read your grocery list.

As for the book - I just wanted to give Riley and Tom both a huge hug. I loved their friendship, their chemistry, the idea of a Getaway List and even more, I loved that they both have huge hearts. I love how we truly got to experience New York through Emma's writing and Riley's adventures around the Big City. I love how she's on a mission to find herself, while still trying to hold onto those that are important. Also - the FOOD. I can never get enough of how much that food is involved in all of Emma's books. The found family & relationships were felt so strongly in this book.

Overall, this is another brilliant story, but also showed just how much that Emma is growing as a writer. It will not beat Tweet Cute as my favorite EL book, but it's taken second place.

I highly recommend Emma Lord to all fans of YA who wear their heart on their sleeve.

Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
