Book Review: People We Meet On Vacation.

People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry.

Synopsis


Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.


From theNew York Times bestselling author ofBeach Read comesa 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?


My Review

I didn't finish reading Beach Read by this author, but I figured I would give this book a try.


This book is written in two timelines switching back and forth between trips in the past and the current vacation Poppy and Alex take together.


This is a fun romance read with a lot of push and pull, will they/won't they, and a lot of angst between Poppy and Alex. There were a couple of swoony, steamy moments for the beach read type novel fans.


I feel the story was drawn out and took a bit longer than was needed to get to the ending. For me overall, this book was an okay read, and I think I will be skipping this author's next book.

My Rating: 3/5
