Synopsis

Even when you're lost, love can find you . . .

Sometimes it takes losing everything to find the person you need . . .

Most people travel to Croatia for its endless sunshine, pebbly beaches and crystal clear sea.

Kate goes there to disappear.

She needs to escape from a life that has fallen apart in spectacular and public fashion, and no one on the beautiful island of Hvar knows who she is or what she's running away from.

Until she meets another lonely soul.

Alex is different to any man Kate has ever known, yet the connection between them is undeniable. She soon begins to open up in ways she never has before - not even to herself. But Kate is not the only person in Hvar hiding secrets. And, as she is about to discover, it is always only a matter of time before the truth catches up with you . . .

Goodreads review by Sydney Books on September 28, 2022

4.5* ugh this was gooooood, I really think I need to give more YA horror a chance because I had so much fun with this. It was super creepy, dystopian, felt like a Black Mirror episode with a heavy dose of reality woven through. Definitely recommend this to all ages and readers. Thank you to I read Y......more

Goodreads review by Theo on September 23, 2022

The Getaway was a mixed bag for me. I liked the premise and the exploration of race and other social issues through this lens — very timely, particularly with exposés of billionaires attempting to secure their own private futures in space (lmao) while the rest of us burn. However, I felt the constan......more

Goodreads review by S.R. on April 11, 2023

Unfortunately, I skimmed a lot of this towards the middle. Not because this is a bad story, but because it was making me very angry. I read to forget about the systematic racism in my country, and unfortunately this book brought it all to the forefront. The plot is interesting, and it will keep you e......more

Quotes

Lovely characters, a wonderful setting, a beautiful story. Insightful and sensitive - Isabelle Broom at her very best.

I absolutely loved it - the romantic, evocative escape everyone needs this summer Rachael Lucas

Q: What do you get if you cross a born travel writer with an incurable romantic? A: The novels of Isabelle Broom. With its shimmering setting and heart-swelling, offbeat romance plot, The Getaway is exactly that - a much-needed, totally immersive escape from real life. I loved it Louise Candlish

A breathtaking romance in a stunning location: the perfect summer escape. I adored The Getaway and I think I'm in love with Croatia too! Cathy Bramley

The Getaway is even better than the real thing. Vivid, funny, tender and warm - no, hot! Red hot. A simply stunning setting and a gloriously romantic plot that will put a smile on your face. Isabelle Broom always sweeps you away Veronica Henry

I loved this evocative, emotional and escapist read Liz Fenwick

A one-way ticket to sunshine and romance, the story of two people finding each other and - in doing so - learning how to live. Uplifting, funny and full of heart, Kate and Alex's story is as addictive as sunset cocktails, full of characters you want to meet and settings that make you want to jump on the next plane to Croatia. It is compelling, beautiful and wholeheartedly romantic. An absolute delight. Katie Marsh

A gorgeous, warm-hearted love story, beautifully depicted and filled with characters you'll fall for . . . the very best of tantalising and escapist fiction, set against the heavenly backdrop of Croatia. A compelling read about self-discovery, sun and secrets I found impossible to put down Holly Miller

Evocative and escapist, I feel like I got to travel to Croatia from my sofa! Isabelle writes such warm, relatable characters. I inhaled this. Laura Jane Williams

This is armchair travel at its best My Weekly
