Maps for the Getaway

A Novel

By: Annie England Noblin

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

If you love Susan Mallery, you won’t want to miss this novel of three high school friends who find themselves emotionally fractured when tragedy strikes, so they go on a road trip they’ll never forget and rediscover what made them “best friends forever.”

It was the road trip of their lives . . . and they did it without a map.

When they posed for a photo at their high school graduation, they vowed they’d be friends forever, but teenage promises are so easily broken, and now, thirty years later, they’re practically strangers.

Cici—stuck in a rut, married to a cheating husband.

Genie—caring for her ailing father but never getting any thanks.

Kate—everyone knows people who look perfect on Instagram are not.

And Laurie—the most successful of them all—now tragically gone.

So, to celebrate Laurie’s life, three former friends in a 1962 red Lincoln Continental convertible take the road trip of their lives—encountering male strippers, a boy band that has seen better days, crazy motel rooms, adopting a so-ugly-it’s-cute stray dog…and discovering that it’s never too late to live the wild life.

Because, sometimes, to find yourself you have to get away.

Maps for the getaway

Good story great characters very funny and entertaining. An excellent depiction of the entangled existence of women approaching 40 right narration highly recommend it

Old friendships renewed

This was a lovely listen. Old friendships matter the most and should be the friends we share all with. And yet, we don’t and tend to let them slip away when we don’t want anyone to know that life isn’t all Insta-perfect. When a tragedy brings together high school friends, they lay it all bare and discover what really matters. Themselves and their happily ever after..for now.

Excellent book! I would definitely recommend it.

It was a great read. I felt like I knew each character. Very Refreshing.

Five stars

This is a fun book with good writing and well drawn characters. There are themes we all, especially women, can relate to.

Fun Read

I love the story of friendship between these delightful characters,their journey, and the happy ending.
