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.

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.

Nothing beats BFFs

Very sweet story that inspired lots of reverie and reflection. Can’t wait to suggest it to my besties!

creative story line!

overall I liked the books. there were a few times I became annoyed because the word said was repeated so many times in the 5 minutes period.

Friends forever

I loved this audio book. It was a wonderful story about friends over time and changes that one day brings them back together in their adventure.

he said she said

I really liked the story but I couldn't get over the fact that after every statement you heard he said, she said or CC said, or whatever. it just got so annoying that I had to quit listenlng.

Drug usage and questionable sexual activities

This life style is not okay with me. I would like my money back, but I guess it is too late for thank. I hope my daughter doesn’t read this one.
