From the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and instant USA Today bestseller The Unwedding, a novel of suspense and friendship about three friends who decide to disappear from their lives for a few days while on a trip to a national park—only to have one of them vanish. Â
Hope, Ash, and Caro met at an online book club. Over the past two years, they’ve been there for each other in every way—except in person. When each of their lives reach a crossroads, they decide to meet in real life at the gorgeous Sonnet Resort at Eden National Park.
Hope, an actress, has become entirely too famous and needs to get away from it all. Ash, a successful online entrepreneur, isn’t sure what has happened to her marriage. Caro, a doctor, has lost a patient and doesn’t know if she wants to carry on or start all over. And none of them are telling each other the full story …
Three online friends plan the ultimate off-grid getaway where no one knows where they are going.
Or at least that is supposed to be the plan. Things take a definite turn when the three women arrive at the rustic Southern Utah resort.
Author Ally Condie uses the picturesque outdoor landscape as a backdrop for The Girls Trip. The three women—a florist, an anesthesiologist, and an actress—soon discover their secrets have followed them.
Ash, Caro, and Hope embrace the concept of cutting off the outside world (supposedly), but a flash flood alters their plans. Now that one of them is missing and someone is sending strange messages, this trip is far from relaxing.
The author intentionally drops clues that provide diversions, leading readers to suspect different characters. However, the conclusion provides a satisfying opportunity to wrap up all the loose ends.
The Girls Trip delivers a vacay without the relaxation for three women seeking to get away.
Ally Condie is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Matched Trilogy, and of many other books (including the Edgar Award Finalist, Summerlost). The Unwedding was her adult debut novel, a Reese’s Book Club Pick, and a USA Today bestseller. A former English teacher, she enjoys hiking with her family in the mountains near their home in Utah.
