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"--

Emily Henry may be a master of writing fluffy novels that aren't, in fact, just fluffy novels at all. I loved this, even though sometimes it was hard to keep track of where we were in the timeline. #45-2024

This might be my token romance read for the year, and it was a winner. A sweet friends to lovers romance about Poppy and Alex, polar opposites who become friends in college and vacation together every year. Loved the summer flashbacks, the sense of humor, the slow build-up of romantic tension, and the extra depth of both characters unpacking the emotional baggage that‘s been holding them back. Super satisfying!

Here is my August #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo, including #Roll100. My oldest son wanted to partake since he sees me do this every month. I told him if he gets a BINGO, I‘ll give him $5. He said “alright! But I want to spin for the BINGO board.” So, as much as I usually wait, I conceded..I can‘t tell him no and he‘s so excited to do this with me! A nice balance of more summer fluff and some good thrillers! 📚📖

A read with #LittensLovesRomanceReadathon. The characters, especially one, were annoying, and the book was a little too long, but the outcome was good.

Overall, I liked the ending to this book - not so much the long journey. I found Poppy to be unlikeable but at least she realizes that herself and tries to work on it. There was character growth and some redemption. But I‘m not sure I would have finished if it wasn‘t for the group read! They‘re making this (and several other Emily Henry books) into films. We‘ll see if I like the story better as a quick 2 hour movie. Thanks for reading with me!

Kshakal I too, probably wouldn‘t have finished it if it weren‘t for our read along! Looking forward to a fresh start next month! 2mo

3✨ When I first heard about this story it sounded really interesting. I liked that it would have the main character(s) traveling. We know something happened between the long term friends, and travel partners but we have to go backward and forward in time to unravel what it was. It was difficult to like the characters that didn‘t seem to grow through the story, but they looked for help. Read for #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious

I'm glad it wrapped up the way it did. I was a little annoyed with Poppy the majority of the book and I felt that Alex deserved better. And yes, I was disappointed with the Croatia reveal. However, this was a quick read that had many cute and funny moments. 3.5⭐️

TheAromaofBooks When I read this book a couple years ago, Poppy drove me batty. Maybe because I live in Ohio so her constantly bashing it/acting like literally the worst thing that could ever happen to her would be having to live there - was a bit insulting 😂 2mo
vonnie862 @TheAromaofBooks I completely understand. Even towards the end how Poppy kept talking negatively towards her hometown made me roll my eyes. 2mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.34&35: that was a pretty good speech. Impassioned and romantic. And it didn‘t work?! I guess 12 years of trouncing on Alex‘s heart have made him super cautious. Maybe he‘ll chase after her and be like, “Same, Babe.” Maybe. At least, if nothing else, Poppy is trying to work on herself.

Graciouswarriorprincess @StayCurious Please tag me in the voting for next month. Thank you. 😊 2mo
LiseWorks I think Alex was shocked. I'm hoping he will run after her. I wanted to know more about that bully. As one who was bullied a lot in middle school I can relate to Poppy. 2mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.32&33: After an entire book of avoiding what happened in Croatia - the big reveal was underwhelming to say the least. That‘s it? They kissed and almost went further but didn‘t? Sigh. The secrecy and not talking about it for years wasn‘t necessary. They didn‘t even have a big falling out. Now the scene in the airport was more likely to cause a rift. Poppy stuck her foot in it big time. Poor Alex. How will she fix this?

Kshakal What happened in Croatia was a huge let down… 2mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.30-31: well David kind of lets the proposal to Sarah out of the bag and Poppy kind of starts spiralling. Luckily she and Alex TALK for once and are honest and seem to be okay for the moment. They still have a ton of issues to work out I think, and not much book to do it in. We‘ll see how it goes once they get to the end of their trip.

Kshakal I am not entirely convinced that we aren‘t going to see more of a Poppy spiral… 2mo
LiseWorks Oh I'm so tired of Poppy. She complicates everything so much. 2mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.28&29: I think by not crawling into bed with Alex in the new hotel room, Poppy is already putting distance btw them. He‘s going to wake up and be hurt I think. As for the Tuscany trip - a lot going on there. Why can‘t Poppy and Alex come to terms with what they mean to each other? Why do they have to make everything so hard? All the important moments happen with them and not with their significant others…that means something

LiseWorks Again, she is failing at this relationship. She should have slept in the same bed. What an opportunity wasted. 3mo
vonnie862 That's double date was something. I don't blame Sarah for her feelings and treatment towards Poppy. Sarah is not dumb. She knows there's something going on. But at the same time, she IS dumb for getting with Alex and knowing that there might be something between him and Poppy. 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.26&27: A great step in the right direction-so how‘s Poppy gonna ruin things😬? Alex seems to be all in, but I feel as though Miss Commitment-Phobe is going to rear her ugly head. And ok, since this was their first time, what the heck happened in Croatia that was so big? I was certain they had slept together and she ran away. Maybe they just came close and stopped before anything happened. I hope Alex doesn‘t get too hurt.

vonnie862 Finally!!! But I am with you, how is Poppy going to mess things up? And what happened in Croatia? I need answers!!!! 3mo
JessieKB Yes!!!!!! What did happen in Croatia?! I am wondering if we aren‘t going to find out until she does mess things up!!! Now I am the exclamation mark girl out of the book 😂 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.24&25: Ok everyone who is annoyed with Poppy raise their hand. Maybe I wouldn‘t be as irritated if the book was told in sequence instead of all this back and forth. But author‘s choice I guess. Alex is a sweetheart and deserves the best. Not sure if that‘s Poppy🤷‍♀️ - I slightly swooned when he showed up to take care of her when she was sick - and then she put distance btw them again.🙄But maybe not so much in the present

LiseWorks I think she is just terrified to lose him, and she is blind as a bat as he gives her a couple of hints that he wants her. 3mo
vonnie862 @LiseWorks i agree with you but at the same time, she's not happy with what she's doing. If she only accepts Alex, I think she can start to feel happy. 3mo

Sorry for the late post! My whole house has caught Covid and we‘re struggling atm. #LittensLoveRomance Ch.20-23: So Poppy finally admits she‘s loved Alex for like 5 years - and not just as a friend. She is so afraid to lose him she‘s not willing to put herself out there - until Croatia, maybe. Who knows - we don‘t yet know what happened there (I am irritated about this). In the present she‘s desperate to go back to their previous friendship⬇️

StayCurious She‘s not being fair to Alex - they need to talk, acknowledge what happened, and find a way to move forward or move on if that‘s what‘s needed. 3mo

julieclair My hold finally came in, so I‘m jumping in for the last third or so of this buddy read. 🤗 I do wonder why they have never had a frank discussion about their feelings, especially since they both love how they can be totally honest with each other about everything else. And I‘m dying to know what happened in Croatia, but I do like the way Emily Henry is building the story year by year. But the big reveal better be good, after all this waiting! 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.18-19: it‘s hard when life gets in the way of friendship. It definitely is easier to take trips and be more spontaneous when you‘re young and unattached. I think Poppy just thought they would always be close and together and nothing would get in their way. It‘s sad that while Alex is with Sarah, he and Poppy don‘t even text and barely talk. But if I was Sarah I‘d be suspicious as all heck of Poppy.

vonnie862 Yeah, that would not work out. It's ok to have friends of the opposite sex but to always go on trips alone, nope. Their future partners would not be OK with that. 3mo
LiseWorks @vonnie862 Oh, I totally agree 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch. 16&17 so we‘re getting closer to what happened in Croatia and why Alex is so mad at Poppy. Because I can sense he‘s still angry and I think it‘s because he put himself out there, she felt too much and ran away from the life they could have in their hometown. And now he wants to get back with Sarah to have a chance at that life. What a tragic mess. But stop dancing around the issue! Talk about it please - for all our sakes.

KadaGul @StayCurious It annoyed me as well when they ambiguously hinted at getting together by dancing around the idea. I was fond of the male protagonist, but not so much of the female. 3mo
vonnie862 @KadaGul Same! And obviously they did some THINGS because Poppy mentioned what Alex could do with his mouth...Now tell us what happened!!! 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.14-15: honestly, this girl is so in denial about her real feelings for Alex, and has been for years. Julian sounds kinda ick. I wonder how long Poppy was with him. I wonder what her parents thought about her dropping out of school. I mean, school wasn‘t for her and she made something of herself without getting into more debt, so that‘s great. Although her life doesn‘t make her happy. ⬇️

StayCurious I wonder - if they do get together, how on earth will it work since Poppy hates their home town and Alex loves it. 3mo
LiseWorks I find the details so not detailed. lol like I want to ask questions, and they are not getting answered 3mo
vonnie862 These two chapters were meh. 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch. 12-13: I‘m starting to get slightly irritated with the secrecy over Croatia. Just tell the reader so we can start fixing whatever happened. Not sure I‘m a big fan of the back in time every other chapter either. What do you guys think? I like it in the sense that we get to know their close friendship - but I think it‘s a bit overused here. But maybe I‘m wrong.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch. 10-11: first of all, that beach hippie estate they stayed at in Canada sounds gross — but they were young and adventurous I guess. Still it sounds like it was a great trip to start off their vacation tradition. It sounds like their current trip isn‘t going so great. It‘s so awkward. They‘re going to have to talk about what happened - a) so we can all stop being curious and b)so they can move past it.

BethM I still would not have been ok with it lol. Please add me 3mo
vonnie862 Yeah, that hippie camp sounded so gross! I would not have trusted the tent they slept in. And that current place they're at, yikes! As a travel journalist, I would have expected Poppy to have done more research, even if it was on a dime. 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch. 8-9: Poppy and Alex definitely have these moments of intimacy that go beyond mere friendship. I‘m not of the opinion that men and women can‘t be friends. They totally can. But Poppy and Alex have always been something more I think. Even though she claims they‘re 95% platonic. sure honey. And what‘s with the freak out over the one bed? Something definitely happened between them. Yup.

I still wonder why they didn‘t speak for 2 years - I‘m starting to think they slept together or he confessed his feelings for her. Or something to that effect. ⬇️

StayCurious I hope he‘s not back with Sarah. That will certainly complicate things. 3mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.4.The way Poppy gets giddy, bubbly & nervous around Alex‘s texts - this screams more than friendship to me. This is like when you like like someone. At least she had the guts to ask him to go away together. That took courage.
Ch.5. This is great conversation and fun to read. I am getting When Harry Met Sally vibes for sure except Alex and Poppy like each other more during this trip. Poppy and Alex are definitely opposites!

vonnie862 I was thinking of When Harry Met Sally too! I also agree that Poppy's giddiness about Alex's text demonstrates more than friendship. The flashback of the car ride showed that Poppy felt comfortable being herself around Alex and Alex began tonipen up. To me, this shows that they are more than just friends. I wonder what stops them? 3mo

Poppy & Alex are probably the two characters that Henry has written that I relate to the least. But I still love their Harry Met Sally-esque story and getting to tag along on all of their travels.
I spent most of Julia Whelan‘s audiobook narration laughing at Poppy‘s antics or grinning at Alex‘s stoicism.
Not my favorite Henry, but one I still enjoy (re)reading.

#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.

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.
7mo
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! 7mo

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.

Reading this book while on vacation was such a fun trip, honestly. The ending was the best part!

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. 10mo

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.
