Why read it?
1 author picked The Getaway as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Jay lives in a *magical* theme park resort town where everything’s supposed to be perfect—until his friend disappears overnight, and things start to get terrifying and dystopian really quickly.
I imagine Disney and theme park lovers enjoying this one, but as for me, I nerd out an unhealthy amount over immersive experiences and weird tyrannical corporations. In summary, this is a brilliant social horror that will have you on the edge of your seat (I read most of it on a plane and nearly flew out the window.)
From CL's list on most thrilling YA books for nerds.
