About this listen

“Next to Tracy and Hepburn, nobody does romantic comedy better than Susan Elizabeth Phillips.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune

Perennial New York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips now provides her fans with The Great Escape from ordinary women’s romantic fiction. One of today’s most beloved writers, the incomparable Phillips follows up her utterly beguiling hit, Call Me Irresistible (“Phillips at her very best. Romantic, funny, sexy, and poignant” —Kristin Hannah) with a sequel that’s equally impossible to resist. Returning in The Great Escape are some of Phillips’s most adored characters, including headstrong, impetuous ex-president’s daughter, Lucy Jorik, who’s just abandoned her fiancé, Ted “Mr. Irresistible” Beaudine, at the altar. Now she’s looking for adventure—and perhaps a little romance—embarking on a wild and hilariously unpredictable road trip that begins on the back of a rather menacing-looking stranger’s motorcycle. The winner of more Favorite Book of the Year Awards than any other romance author, including Nora Roberts, Susan Elizabeth Phillips offers her fans an Escape to remember, and they’ll certainly want to come back for more!

This was a good book but not one of my favourite Phillips book. It is the story of Lucy who runs away from her wedding and tries to find herself. Panda is the person who helps her escape thinking she will run for a while then return to her life. Lucy has other ideas though and decides to make his home, hers.
I enjoyed this story and liked the other storylines that went alongside the one about Lucy. I found myself enjoying reading about all the characters like Bree as they tried to deal with their past and other issues. Definitely a good story, the only issue I found was during part of it, it felt dragged out a bit. However it is a book I will read again and do recommend. x

The story was unbelievable and the main character just a noted me. The side story was much better than the main one.

Not great
