I think that summed up how I feel quite often really well and it really resonated with me. Other than that I found this book OK overall, but wasn’t deserving of the 4 stars for me.
Moderate: Death of parent and Pregnancy

People We Meet on Vacation is probably my favourite romance read of the year, and I’ve read a lot of wonderful romances.
What’s memorable about it? At the top of the list has to be the way Henry conveys the connection between Alex and Poppy. Their banter… is the gold standard of banter. When I wasn’t laughing out loud I had a satisfied smile on my face through so many of the scenes where Poppy and Alex are just talking. Their dynamic is completely believable.
The writing is lovely in general too. I enjoyed the past / present structure, and I appreciate how knowing all of that history helped to make their relationship more complex and realistic for the reader.
Sure, a lot of the tension in this one comes from the fact that these two just won’t talk about their feelings. This might annoy some readers or seem to stretch believability, but I didn’t mind, not when I was having such a good time on this journey and didn’t want it to end anytime soon.
Loved what this book has to say about different kinds of love, and home, and finding your person.
Oh, and Julia Whelan narrating the audio was perfection.
I’ll just be over here counting down the days to Henry’s 2022 release.

Friends to lovers done well, it also really hit me right in the heart with those Midwest Feels.
After reading some mediocre romance, wanted to try this one out, hoping my first romance pick was a dud. I'm glad I was right! This book is lovely, a fun, quick read.
