Oh, Susan Elizabeth Phillips! Your books never fail to bring a smile to my face. When I read of Lucy in Meg and Ted’s story, I’d downplayed her as the scared bride to be and nothing more. I’m proved wrong, because in the Great Escape she is so much more! I’d forgotten that she was that thorny teenag...
3.5 StarsAs much as I love SEP books, I wanted something more from Lucy and Panda. It was still a good read, but I didn't enjoy this one as much as I have the others.
A really enjoyable comprehensive story including good secondary romances. I liked the variety of stages the relationship went through with many of the characters evaluating their lives. Lucy runs out on her wedding and hitches a ride on the back of a motorcycle with a guy named Panda.

Gah. I'm usually such a fan of Phillips but, man, did this feel forced. Both Lucy and her bad boy biker love interest -- Panda -- felt hollow. The story did redeem itself 3/4 of the way through, when they both felt like real characters, but by that point many readers will be lost. Instead, I'd offer...
"The Great Escape" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips follows the story of Lucy Jorik, daughter of the former president of the United States, after she runs off, leaving her groom practically at the altar. This story follows (or takes place contemporaneously with) "Call Me Irresistible."The story begins wh...
