Probably my least fave EH book, BUT I still loved it regardless. It felt a bit more shallow than her other two tbh. I still loved all of the characters though, and the development of their love for each other felt very natural. Also I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again! Emily Henry nails dialogue better than most popular contemp authors right now, it’s like Gilmore Girls meets Nora Ephron in the best way possible.

This book is extraordinary. So offen when reading romance books I say in my review that they are "good but nothing special." That usually means most people will find some way to enjoy it in my opinion.
With this book however I don't think it's for everyone. It definitely is NOT a cute quick romance book.
This felt more like a contemporary book about two people who happen to be in love with each other.
That being said I absolutely love this book. I enjoyed every minute of the audiobook and I definitely want to reread it and buy a physical copy!
This book makes me wonder why I ever thought enemies-to-lovers is the best type of romance. I still love it but mostly in fantasy settings.
Bestfriends-to-lovers however - wow! I absolutely loved Poppy and Alex's dynamic. The way they could truly be themselves around each other and how they adored each other is just something so special.
What I also loved about this book is how real and human it felt. There are still a few romancy tropes but all in all the stories and the feelings are something I could relate to so much.
I feel like this just made it's way into my favourite books of all times list.

People We Meet on Vacation was a slightly unexpected breath of fresh air!
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Emily Henry’s first book, Beach Read, and I had heard that most people prefer that to People We Meet on Vacation, but I had an amazing time with this book!
I loved Poppy and Alex’s relationship, how it progressed, and the work they did on themselves to grow both separately and together. I also loved all the characters places they visited, and the structure of the book. I do wish there had been more time given to them as an actual couple, but otherwise I really enjoyed it!
People We Meet on Vacation exceeded my expectations. 4.75 stars.
