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.

This book was so heartwarming! I laughed, I cried, and I cheered these 3 adventurous 70year old ladies on every step of the way! It was easy to see a little bit of myself in each of them, and I can honestly say I hope I am that brave at 70. Such an inspiring lighthearted story, full of quick wit, and memorable characters. I found this to be well written, and so very easy to get swept away into the pages of European landscape descriptions.
Also, now all I want is wine, bread, cheese, and olives.
Thank you to NetGalley, as well as the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

What a fab book this was, it was so funny, making me laugh out loud on numerous occasions!
I loved reading about Connie, Gill and Maggie on their adventure and felt like joining them as they travelled through France and Italy. Just thinking about them now as I’m writing this up, makes me smile and laugh thinking about their exploits. Of course when you go away with anyone you’re likely to have a few arguments, and because they don’t know each other that well they do get on each other nerves, especially Gill and Maggie. I loved their snipes at each other, it was so funny.
If you looking for a feel good read this summer this is the perfect book, and one I’ve already recommended to a friend, as soon as I’d finished it.
