Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read, a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
The Review
PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION was the second book I read over the weekend.
Now that this is the second book I’ve read by Emily Henry I can tell why she is a favorite. Her writing is quick and smart, her characters are well constructed, charming, and likable.
This book is a friend to lovers romance with a fun -always on vacation vibe. I thought the premise was interesting but I wasn’t in love with this one as much as I would’ve liked to be.
That moment when a friend turns in your mind from platonic to romantic has to be executed so well and I just didn’t buy into the romance this time around.
I would still recommend it to rom-com and women’s fiction readers. This was a solid book but came in around the middle mark.
PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION…⭐️⭐️⭐️
