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"--

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. 3mo
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 😃 3mo

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 3mo

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!!

Thanks for hosting the bingo, as always, @TheAromaofBooks -

Make a great day everyone - 🌞

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.

I was sucked in immediately, but I‘ve read this book before. Not this specific book, but I‘ve read a couple books that follow a very similar plot line. Girl with a type personality meets boy with b type personality, they become friends, they try to be more than friends and mess it up, they awkwardly get back together and find out they belong together. This was written well and I really enjoyed it. Book #27 in 2023

3.25⭐️ It was ok; I was expecting it to have more of a feel like Beach Read had and ended up feeling a bit disappointed with the book. Quite honestly, I didn‘t really like the back and forth and it just didn‘t work for me. #2023 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #emilyhenry #romance
