The Sweetest Getaway

by Sasha Preston

They’ll need the sweetest getaway ever to escape this mess…

Jennifer used to be a wholesome daydreamer who’d never broken a law in her life.

In a moment of weakness, she lets her roommate, Nari, rope her into a money-making scheme that isn’t exactly…legal.

How could she have known that stealing from bad guys would be so much fun?

Soon, Jennifer is so busy leading a double life that she barely has time to fantasize about the hot, dimpled stranger she met at one of Nari’s parties.

Everything is going smoothly, until someone rats them out to the cops.

Now, Jennifer and Nari need help from a team of seasoned criminals to pull off a heist that’ll either set them up for life…or get them locked up for a very long time.

Can Jennifer find a path to happily ever after that doesn’t include an ugly prison jumpsuit?

There’s only one way to find out…

The Sweetest Getaway is a no spice, cozy heist novel with laughs, international intrigue, and the smartest heroines since Ocean’s 8. Perfect for fans of women’s fiction and crime capers. Get it today for a criminally good time.

I had a great time reading Sweetest Getaway! A gripping and empowering heist story led by a dynamic cast of women. It delivers an exciting blend of social commentary, suspense, and character-driven drama. What stands out for me, even after reading the book, is Jennifer’s compelling arc from a modest dreamer to a courageous risk-taker, and the overall cast of flawed yet endearing characters. The novel strikes a fine balance between immersive storytelling, emotional depth, and fast-paced action. It tackles themes of exploitation and justice with heart, while maintaining a fun, energetic tone. Absolutely entertaining, and left me rooting for the team long after the final page. Highly recommended!

I definitely recommend reading The Sweetest Getaway because once you start reading, you can’t put it down. The Sweetest Getaway is pack with so much action it made my emotions switch up so fast while still rooting for them at the same time. It has everything from love to hating certain characters. This gave the story a twist, I wasn’t expecting. I especially loved the camaraderie between the girls. Their friendship felt so real and had me smiling more than once. I love the bonus Book Club Discussion Questions, this made me feel like I am part of the story. So if you like action pack girl power adventures, you got to pick this up.

The Sweetest Getaway was such a fun read. This action packed and delightful book will leave you satisfied yet hungry for more.

Packed full of suspense, drama and a whole lot of laughs, this story has a cast of strong and empowered female characters that you can’t help but root for. The bond that they share is so special and really, who doesn’t love a good heist?!?

With the rich character development, it is easy to fall in love and hate with the different characters. The scenes are so well depicted that they come alive on the pages, unfolding before your eyes.

Thank you so much to the author for the copy of this book. It was such a great read, and I cannot wait for more.

I'm a big reader of cosy mysteries, and this had a similar kind of vibe. It was entertaining, and the characters were fun to follow. Jennifer and Nari were both strong female characters, but personally I connected with Jennifer a little bit more.

There was some romance, and some of the characters had good chemistry, though it wasn't particularly spicy. I found it quite easy to read in one sitting, and it was satisfying. In addition, I liked the book's colourful cover illustration and design.

Absolutely a FUN read! As much as I like romance there's just something about novels that focus on other things and have the romance take a back seat. Even if their actions are a bit legally ambiguous you just cant help but say "YOU GO GIRL!!!!" When something good happens to them. Also I may have a bit of bias towards novels that target evil corporations.
If you LOVEE reading novels about strong and badass women I highly recommend!!!

I liked this book, and readers will get their money's worth as it is quite LONG! I could almost see Jennfier running in high heels when a security guard chased her for crashing a high-end party! Nari, Jennifer's roommate had schemed to get them both in so that she could pitch a deal to make them both millionaires.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
The Sweetest Getaway is a delightful read with an elaborate plan at its core and an incredibly strong cast of women who carry the story with heart and humor. While the pacing dips a little in the middle, the characters and their bonds more than make up for it. A warm, engaging escape I’d happily recommend.

The Sweetest Getaway was an interesting story about women who worked to try and take down a company for taking advantage of others and I enjoyed it. I did occasionally find it dragging on but it was definitely one I wanted to finish so I could see the way it ended.

decided to try this out as a bit of a different genre for myself but unfortuantely it didn't click for me, just quite slow to take off and i didn't really feel myself hooked. thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this arc!

Good read - confusing in spots but had to finish once started. Well-minded theme to help those who are being cheated by those who have so much! Intrigue, mixed with laughter and a bit of romance, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
