Many thanks to NetGalley, Wednesday Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the new book by Emma Lord, perfectly narrated by Norma Butikofer - 4 stars!
On the day of her high school graduation, Riley realizes she went along with all her mom's plans for her that she doesn't really know herself or what she wants. In addition, because she was all over the place with clubs and interests, she didn't apply herself to anything that made her stand out, hence a slew of college rejection letters. Determined to do something different, she heads to NYC to meet up with her best friend, Tom, who moved to the city for his mom's career. They decide to reenact their childhood Getaway List - all the things they wanted to do when they got old enough.
This is just a sweet rom com, a perfect YA book, and also a love letter to NYC. It's about coming of age but also coming to grips with who you are, what you want, and what you need to do to make that happen. I also loved the idea of the delivery service app!
