The Getaway Girls: A hilarious feel good summer read about second chances Paperback – August 2, 2018

I love this novel. 3 older ladies on a road trip from England to Italy in a grand motor home. This was a great read.

Well developed characters, the story line was a little weak. It was was quick read, not heavy, a good beach book.

I feel like it was a good book but it was harder to relate to. We read it for book club and it was still entertaining more towards the middle/end of the book.

I loved the descriptions of all the places they visited. I felt as if I was there. I am of the same age as these women in the story. I enjoyed imagining what it would be like to just go off and have an adventure.I would recommend this book to any woman ready to dream of adventure, fun, and laughter! Many times I laughed out loud!Certainly earned a 5star from me!

She hears Ringer come home and putter around in the kitchen. Early the next morning before she leaves the apartment, she looks in the oven and finds a bag full of money. And she takes the money. She is aware that Ringer will be very, very angry. But, after all she has devoted 30 years of her life to the jerk.The book has humor. The book has great character development. The book introduces the reader to many wonderful characters along the way. The book is very enjoyable.Each of these women learn about themselves along the way. And they also learn about one another. At times, what they learn about their fellow man can be quite amazing.I liked this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I dont get all of the UK references as I am American, but it still translates as humorous!This book had me laughing, fretting, crying, and rejoicing all the way through. I actually felt like I was on "Holiday" with this trio.A definite must-read if you like adventure and danger and laughter!

Absolutely wonderful book I enjoyed reading it very much. These ladies are on a great adventure on their "Getaway". You'll love it I certainly did!

In this novel, as in The Runaway Wife, Connie McColl displays a wonderful ability to form relationships and grow friendships with people who at first seem unlikely and alien to her experience.The 2 women she chooses to travel with through France and Italy are not the easiest companions. But as they support one another through a variety of circumstances they form close bonds and lasting friendships.(I'm not so sure however, that the police would have been so blind to all that money!)
