Poppy and Alex have been the best of friends since college despite their polar opposite personalities. While Poppy is a wild child with insatiable wanderlust, Alex is a laid-back guy who enjoys spending his time at home with a book. Despite their differences, they have taken an annual vacation together for a decade until they had a falling out two years ago, which resulted in them not speaking to each other since.
Poppy realizes that she’s stuck in a rut and the last time she was truly happy was on that final trip with Alex. She decides to persuade him to take one more vacation together to fix their friendship. However, there is a big truth that has always been between them, which she must confront. The story is about their journey to reconcile their differences, rebuild their friendship and face the truth that may change their relationship forever.

People We Meet on Vacation Review
This book was such a feel-good! I will admit it broke my heart a bit, too. Not because of the delayed love between Poppy and Alex, but because of the deep friendship she has with him. I’m a big fan of the friends to lovers trope, and sometimes when the friendships are so long and deep it causes more heartbreak, which I’m also a sucker for. Emily Henry did a beautiful job of depicting the reality of what a real relationship would be like between Poppy and Alex.
I’m not usually a huge fan of the sick trope, but Emily Henry knocked that chapter out of the park and somehow made me forget about the sick ick. A job well done indeed!
Some of the moments in this book reminded me of my own moments in life, and, in a way, helped me process what my feelings were at the time. Emily Henry has a great way with words and her romance books are always a winner in my eyes.
