People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
4.0
4.5 ⭐
There has been a lot of buzz around Emily Henry's latest release, and I can see why... People We Meet on Vacation was delightful! After reading both this one and Beach Read, it's clear to me that Henry is queen of banter. I absolutely loved the wit and the chemistry between Alex and Poppy. Even more than that, though, I loved how this (to me) reached a deeper level than your average rom-com. We as readers get to watch Alex and Poppy's relationship unfold over a 12-year period. There is genuine love, trust, and friendship that has weathered the test of time. As we watch these two come back together after a two-year hiatus/rough patch, it's hard not to feel desperate for them to get past the awkwardness and to see what's been right in front of them this whole time. I. was. invested.
