“The day of her high school graduation, Riley realizes two things: One, that she has spent the last four years trying so hard to be a Good Kid for her mom that she has no idea who she really is anymore, and two, she has no idea what she wants because of it. The solution? Pack her bags and move to New York for the summer, where her childhood best friend Tom and co-creator of The Getaway List ― a list of all the adventures they’ve wanted to do together since he moved away ― will hopefully help her get in touch with her old adventurous self, and pave the road to a new future.
Riley isn’t sure what to expect from Tom, who has been distant since his famous mom’s scriptwriting career pulled him away. But when Riley arrives in the city, their reconnection is as effortless as it was when they were young―except with one, unexpected complication that will pull Riley’s feelings in a direction she didn’t know they could take. As she, Tom, and their newfound friends work their way through the delightfully chaotic items on The Getaway List, Riley learns that sometimes the biggest adventure is not one you take, but one you feel in your heart.” - taken from Goodreads.
Feeling suffocated by her overprotective mother who is trying to make sure her daughter doesn’t make the same mistakes that she did, Riley abruptly goes to New York the day after her high school graduation to see her childhood friend, Tom. Much to her mother’s displeasure, the weekend visit turns into the entire summer when she realizes how much her mother has manipulated her friendship with Tom. With her future suddenly in her sights, can Riley see past everything that she feels has held her back to decide which path she will take?
