Description

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.



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?



"Emily Henry is my newest automatic-buy author, and People We Meet on Vacation is the perfect getaway: a heartfelt, funny, tender escape that you wish could last forever." --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways



People We Meet on Vacation is a gorgeous slow-burn romance, full of sexual tension and tantalizing possibility. I fell head over heels for Alex and Poppy, and loved travelling all over the world with them both. --Beth O'Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare


This is a perfect rom com, and I completely adored it. I think Emily Henry might be our generation's answer to Nora Ephron. A witty, warm page turner." --Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of GMA book club pick This Time Next Year



"Emily Henry is a STAR! Deeply emotional and starkly funny, People We Meet on Vacation cements Emily Henry as the Queen of Banter. Rom-com fans will swoon over this slow burn friends-to-lovers romance. Poppy and Alex are real and flawed and ultra-lovable, and their Summer Trips will scratch an itch for those of us who've missed traveling. A perfect summer read!" --Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola



A compulsively readable book full of sparkling wit, dazzling prose and a romance that grabbed me by the heart and wouldn't let me go. --Abby Jimenez, USA Today bestselling author of Life's Too Short



An absolute delight: swoony, legitimately moving, and packed with witty banter that makes Alex and Poppy jump off the page. We are already waiting impatiently for whatever Emily writes next. --Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, USA Today bestselling authors of The Royal We and The Heir Affair



Henry's skills with sensory detail and lovable characters shine through. This is a strong choice for readers looking for a vicarious summer vacation of their own. --Publishers Weekly

Main Characters Ruined the Book

The characters were so unlikable this book became such a hard read. It was so hard to pinpoint who they were as people and I could not connect with them. Very over hyped.

Slow

This was an overall good read, but it starts out too slow. I kept going and I’m glad I did but god that was a long drawn out story.

Skip this one

Couldn’t get into this one. I tried really hard - read over 200 pages, but it just isn’t keeping my attention. The plot is slow and predictable.

Skip it

Very boring and slow. The book made a big deal about something that happened b/w the characters 2 years ago. Plot took forever to get to that point in the book. Then what happened was very uneventful.

Boringggg

It’s so boring! Just going on and on about the same boring details over and over again. This isn’t “will they or won’t they” … this is just boring

Skip it.

The story line was very predictable. If you are looking for a book that will keep you engaged skip this one. However it is a very easy read.

Give yourself time between other titles

While I do enjoy her books, the 3 I read have all been very similar. I’m pretty sure the love scenes were copy and paste. I think I would have enjoyed the books a lot more if I hadn’t listened to them within a week of each other.

Slow and boring

It took me weeks to finish this book. Very predictable with boring characters. Wish I read another one of her books first because I’ve heard they’re great.
