A vacation-themed book with a mainly-Black cast that follows four family members (two sisters and their cousins) on a trip to the Bahamas. It was released for VIP players of January 25, 2023, and for everyone on March 15, 2023.
Getaway Girls includes examples of:
- Alliterative Name: The default name for the main character is Teyana Thompson.
- Artifact Alias: Juanita Carter is known by the pseudonym Anita Descartes.

- The Cameo: A premium scene in Chapter 5 has Piper as a producer in "Cretaceous Playground."
- Cast Full of Gay: Downplayed in comparison to quite a few other Choices stories, but Anita is a Lipstick Lesbian, Maia is aro-ace, and Teyana can be customized as queer if her love interest and/or ex are female, leaving Dee Dee as the only straight protagonist in the book.
- Character Customization: The player can customize appearance, hairstyle and name, but not ethnicity. Jordan can be customized and unlike Teyana, player can customize ethnicity and gender. If Jordan is Caucasian or Black his last name is Parker but if he is Indian then his last name is Paudwal.
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Each of the four girls has a colour associated with them. It shows up as the colour of the heart that denotes romantic choices and the colour of the bond symbol that appears when the girls' bond increases:
- Teyana: Green
- Anita: Blue
- Dee Dee: Red
- Maia: Purple
- Continuity Nod: Two of the actors filming on location are Matt Rodriguez and Tinsley Ackerby. Anita herself knows Tinsley.
- Finale Title Drop: During the Group Picture Ending, Teyana has the option of saying "Getaway Girls!" instead of "cheese" as the picture is taken.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Maia is the hardest one who drinks like a fish and nearly gets the party thrown out of the hotel from her antics. Her title is "The Mess."
