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"--

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

February catchup review 3/
Henry writes great rom-coms! A fun read especially as we are still stuck in the midst of winter (hello 15” of snow yesterday). It felt lovely to escape with Poppy and Alex on their various vacations while outside it was cold, snowy and icy.

Poppy and Alex were a fun duo and I really liked how Henry weaves the threads of their past vacations through what was happening now to bring the story together at the end. 4⭐️

I‘d recommend this book. I really enjoyed it. I liked that their unlikely friendship was sparked during the road trip home from college. I think the character development was excellent. You understood the personal issues that were always holding them back. I liked how the author kept repeating inside jokes throughout the book. It made me feel more invested in their relationship and journey. Also, their flirting and chemistry was delicious.

A book for everyone's travels! I wasn't the only one reading it on the flight to Miami, let's just say, and I felt an immediate bond over our taste in books. I liked the heavier themes hiding under the carefree travel read.

Poppy & Alex haven‘t spoken to each other in 2 yrs. They were best friends who enjoyed traveling together every summer, but 1 summer changed everything. Poppy‘s plans a trip for Alex‘s brother‘s wedding. What will happen between them by the end?

The hype for this book was definitely guaranteed. I liked the gradual built up chemistry between the 2. The plot & the descriptions were top notch, but rest of the writing could‘ve been a little better.

This is the 4th Emily Henry book I have read and I found this equally delightful as the others. Two friends travel every summer, an opposites attract kind of story but also somewhat poignant as both feel like they are on the outside looking in. I find the characters really relatable and for a little while this book gave me a vacation from the bitter cold weather and day to day stresses of life. A light hearted story.

love love LOVED this book! friends to lovers trope was phenomenally done; it was giving massive love, rosie vibes. alex and poppy are such lovable characters. i am a sucker for romance and i love their love so much. i sobbed for two straight hours after finishing this book and i couldn‘t stop talking about it for days. absolutely adored the storytelling and watching their relationship grow out of being strictly platonic!

“But everyone gets lonely sometimes, and whenever that happens, I buy a plane ticket and go to the airport and—I don‘t know. I don‘t feel lonely anymore. Because no matter what makes all those people different, they‘re all just trying to get somewhere, waiting to reach someone.”

Poppy and Alex are polar opposites and best friends. They used to take a trip every summer but that stopped two years earlier when outside forces worked to tear them apart.
Now, Poppy is trying to figure out how to get out of the rut she‘s been stuck in and hopes a week-long vacation with Alex will bring everything back into perspective. They just have to get over that last disastrous trip first.
Finished 9/27/2022
