Book Review of Daring Chloe (Getaway Girls, Bk 1)

Daring Chloe (Getaway Girls, Bk 1)
frogslady avatar reviewed on + 92 more book reviews


When we meet Chloe, she is far from daring! But she gets a big wakeup call one night - the night before her wedding, well early morning of her wedding, at 1:33 am, she gets a text from her finance that the wedding is off! She has always seen herself as a boring, follow the rules person, and her sister as the perfect, can do no wrong one. From reading the blurb at the back, I knew her friends, the Getaway Girls, were going to have Chloe take the already paid for honeymoon trip anyway. But the book was not one of those predicatable ones where she met a new love on the trip! no, indeed. First of all, the "getaway girls" are the members of a book club. Secondly, they aren't all young. In fact two of the members are mother and daughter. I enjoyed the various activities the book club explored and the way Chloe learned to step out in faith and trust God more through this book. I liked the interaction between the women who were at various points in their lives. Although her sister is not a member of the book club, we also see Chloe's relationship with her sister deepen and be more realistic. And the best part might be that there are two more books in the series, each letting us see more about all of the members of the club, but focusing on one in each book.
