People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry follows Poppy Wright, a vibrant travel writer, and her best friend Alex Nilsen, a reserved high school teacher from their small Ohio hometown, who have shared a decade of unforgettable summer trips despite living worlds apart. After a disastrous Croatia vacation two years prior ends their tradition and communication, Poppy, feeling unfulfilled in her dream job, convinces Alex for one final getaway to Palm Springs for his brother's wedding, hoping to recapture their spark amid flashbacks to past adventures. As opposites who balance each other's chaos and calm, their reunion stirs banter, buried tensions, and questions of happiness, friendship's evolution, and unspoken feelings without revealing romantic turns.
Cute. I appreciate that Emily Henry goes deep with her character development. You REALLY get to know Alex and Poppy. It’s a sweet story, if not therapeutic in some ways. Kind of slow with lots of build up for the inevitable. When I saw it was being made into a Netflix movie, I wanted to read it and I’m glad I did! It’s just a little bore snore for my liking. But if you need a sweet little stress-free potato chip book, this one is a good one.
