Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are the ultimate book dream team. How Whelan manages to capture the world that Henry creates and bring it to life so vividly is astounding. I feel a part of the story and, when I’m not listening, I’m thinking about everything I’ve heard and what I’ll hear next.
You and Me (People We Meet) On Vacation is a beautiful tale of love, found family, friendship and, dare I say it, millennial ennui. It teaches its readers that there is more to life than the goals we are taught to aspire to in our life, that, though we’ve been taught that these things will bring happiness, it is 1. not a failure to not achieve them and 2. they are not the only thing that can make your life worthy and your presence valuable.
Poppy and Alex have a piece of my heart, and they always will.

Overall I liked the characters and the story. I liked the build up of the romance but mixed in with the very real life situation of right person, wrong time. I knocked off a star because of all the mentions of he's so big and I'm so small and because miscommunication tropes are kind of over done.

I really enjoyed this book and love the author, but I had to rate it down because the climax didn’t hit for me. The reveal of the conflict of their past was much smaller of an event than I expected and honestly thought it be a much mor climatic reveal.

I put a bunch of emily henry books on hold because everyone was reading them and keep slogging through even though they are Not For Me. the characters feel indistinguishable from each other and each book reads so wildly manic pixie that i have to scream sometimes. emily henry can write compelling fast reads that feel good going down; those just aren’t usually what i enjoy.
