People We Meet on Vacation
People We Meet on Vacation | Emily Henry
"What happens when best friends with nothing in common come together, fall apart, and fall in love? The Vacationers meets When Harry Met Sally..., from the author of Beach Read When Poppy met Alex, there was no spark, no chemistry, and no reason to think they'd ever talk again. Alex is quiet, studious, and destined for a future in academia. Poppy is a wild child who only came to U of Chicago to escape small-town life. But after sharing a ride home for the summer, the two form a surprising friendship. After all, who better to confide in than someone you could never, ever date? Over the years, Alex and Poppy's lives take them in different directions, but every summer the two find their way back to each other for a magical weeklong vacation. Until one trip goes awry, and in the fallout, they lose touch. Now, two years later, Poppy's in a rut. Her dream job, her relationships, her life--none of it is making her happy. In fact, the last time she remembers feeling truly happy was on that final, ill-fated Summer Trip. The answer to all her problems is obvious: She needs one last vacation to win back her best friend. As a hilariously disastrous week unfolds and tensions rise, Poppy and Alex are forced to confront what drove them apart--and decide what they're willing to risk for the chance to be together"--

#PeopleWeMeetOnVacation #EmilyHenry #March2024 #TheBookSpin #SeriesLove2024 #ReadAway2024

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.

EadieB 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.
2mo
EadieB 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.
2mo
EadieB 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?
This is a very good Romcom. Poppy and Alex are very good friends who go on vacation together. There is no love but just friendship for 12 years. After a few drinks one night, they start to share how they feel about each other.

EadieB Love does then become a part of the equation. Read this book to find out what happens between Poppy and Alex. The book has funny parts that made me laugh but made me cry too. If you like Romcom then you will love this book! 2mo

I love, love, loved this book. Poppy & Alex…a do they or don‘t they story. Unlikely best friends that take a summer trip together every year…until they don‘t. I laughed a lot, I cried a little, but I liked being along for the ride.

This was a fast read that I thought was good but not great. It felt a little melodramatic, like they kept having the same emotional realizations over and over again. But it was definitely enjoyable and I flew through it this weekend!

GondorGirl This is my least favorite Emily Henry book. It was good, but not as great as her other work. 5mo

Definitely a good beach read. I didn't really feel the title matched the story, and I didn't feel like the character development always made the most sense, but that's just me being picky.

This was a great palate cleanser for me and a great summer read. An ode to When Harry Met Sally. The ending hits hard too. 🖤

I finished up this little rom-com book before work today. I enjoyed the way Henry told the story through a decade of vacations, alternating with the present vacation. I also liked the characters. It took me longer to finish because once I set the book down, I wasn‘t pulled back to it to see what would happen next. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

squirrelbrain I felt the same about the book I read by this author - fun but I didn‘t particularly want to pick it up. 10mo
Cortg @squirrelbrain I have a copy of Book Lovers and was just talking to a colleague who had the same thoughts on both books. I'll probably read it next summer without high expectations 😃 10mo

Finished this a couple weeks ago but took me ages to get through bc it was difficult for me to want to pick up and read. The miscommunication really put me off. The flashbacks to each summer vacation was a good format to show their history and build up anticipation for what went sideways but it also just made me anxious for them lol. Loved all the travel destinations and banter just overall not my favorite of Henry's books

Cinfhen Congrats on finishing!! I bailed on your tagged book and this one too 10mo

A fun, predictable, friends to lovers story about Poppy and Alex. I enjoyed how their relationship unfolded in terms of their trips. Poppy writes about her travels for a living and Alex goes with her once a year. It is a good book if you need a break from heavier reading (or the world) -

Goals for #20in4 but reality is that tagged is the one I will finish - too much family fun this weekend 😄

The other books will carry over to June (which means a good start on my #BookSpinBingo for next month 😂)

Not ready for Hendrix yet - the library will let the next person read it, keep me at top of the wait list - so nice - I didn't know this was a thing 👏

Thanks hosts @Andrew65 and @TheAromaofBooks

Make a great day everyone 🌞

Book came in (tagged) - so goal for May is to finish strong (with books I am enjoying) and get a #BookSpinBingo (due partly to DNF's 😅)

I can't believe it's the end of May already - I do feel as I get older time is going faster!! Or maybe time really does fly when you are having fun!!

Officially a fan of Emily Henry and how she write complicated relationships. Love complicated people. These two are long term best friends that want different things and never saw a reason to get together. They thrives and suffered for it. Yet here they are, figuring out all over again if they can make it work. I felt worse for Alex in this one. He wants the simpler life and feels played.
