People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

Summary:
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. 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. 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. 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?
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read, a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.

Review:
People We Meet on Vacation is the story of Alex and Poppy falling in love. The story starts with them as estranged best friends. But as the story progresses, we see flashbacks of past vacations that Alex and Poppy took together. We get to see the whole history of their friendship starting from when they met in college to the present. Poppy is feeling restless, in her job, in her life. She misses Alex, who she hasn’t really talked to in two years. One late night text turns into one last vacation for Poppy and Alex. One last chance for them to finally be honest with one another.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved the way it was written. The flashbacks we’re super well done and really gave excellent back story for both Poppy and Alex. I feel like their romance was really well built up and was definitely one that I could easily root for. I loved getting to see all of the placed that they’d traveled to. And their final vacation, the vacation from hell, was absolutely hilarious.
Overall, I love Henry’s adult novels and I’m very excited to see what she will be writing next. I loved Poppy and Alex. They reminded me a bit of myself and my husband. I think that’s why I enjoyed this book so much. It was a fun, quick, and entertaining read.

Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.
