"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"--… (meer)

People We Meet on Vacation door Emily Henry

  1. 00
    The Road Trip door Beth O'Leary (julienne_preacher)
    julienne_preacher: Similar in tone: lighthearted and fun with some serious stuff in the mix. Also similar in structure: there's jumping from present to past events in both books.

People we meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Read: April 2023

I may have a new favourite book…

I’ve heard so many bad things about this book and read so many bad reviews that I almost deleted it from my list. Thank god I didn’t!! I want to have amnesia so I can go back and listen to this all over for the first time. I can already feel the book hangover, I don’t even care to think about the next book right now and I’m so sad it’s over.

I do understand how it could get a little confusing with the flash backs, but they are soooo necessary to see how perfect Poppy and Alex are for each other. They build on their friendship and love in such a maddening way it almost makes you want to scream. Their unique chemistry and wit just about killed me, and the dialogue in this was insanely good!

This is my second Emily Henry book I’ve listened too, and I have to say, I love that she finishes her books open ended. I love that we don’t get an epilogue where the couples are married off with kids, because, that’s not everyone’s ideal ending. Some people just simply want to exist together and I love that we can make our own assumptions as readers on how the characters story ends. ( )

I didn’t love this story as much, but Emily Henry’s banter always hits! And so does her MLM/pyramid scheme hate! ( )

her writing is crisp and sharp and the dialogue is excellent. i probably didn't like this quite as much as her first, but this was really enjoyable - the voices, tone, pacing and time jumps all kept it moving and interesting. she writes well and that really helps carry this for me. ( )

People We Meet on Vacation is a good book. I liked the main characters and I was invested in their relationship. I liked reading about how they grew up over the years and got together.

There were two things that I didn't like about the book. First, the flashbacks were too numerous and too long. I would have preferred it if the story was arranged in a different way so that the present wasn't interrupted every chapter or two with the past. Secondly, even though it's a friends to lovers book, there was more OW/OM information and drama than I would have liked. ( )

While the homage to Harry and Sally was evident, Poppy and Alex are also reminiscent of Gus and January—who I absolutely adore. I was thrilled to have some of what I loved from Beach Read in People We Meet on Vacation. I love Emily Henry’s witty characters, the easy banter, the snarky jabs. It’s easy to fall in love with her playful-serious characters as we watch them fall in love with each other.
...
“My life turned out how I hoped it would, and now I just miss wanting something” (21).
...
Poppy wants a life completely different from the one from which she came: a vanilla suburb where she stands out (and is bullied) as a colorful outsider. So Poppy pursues a life of unique (and worthy) experiences (far away from the Ohio suburban existence she’s fleeing), collecting spontaneous moments, luxurious vacations, but she realizes after a decade of summer vacations with her best friend Alex that it was less about where she was going and more about who she was going to see or meet along the way. And it was even less about leaving normalcy and more about coming home. In the end, she learns that life isn’t about what we want or what we achieve but who we want to be and with whom we want to live it. ( )
