I really don't understand why this book is so popular. While the actual writing is okay, I found the book to be a very slow read and to be honest a little boring. Going back to previous vacations 12 times got a little old since they had a lot of the same kinds of things on each vacation. I don't know how it could have been done differently, but each previous vacation felt a bit "been there done that...realize that you love each other already." I couldn't relate to either character. I also feel that that the intimate scenes in the book could have been toned down a lot. There is a lot of talk about sex and a couple actual descriptions of the character's intimacy that I felt were unnecessary to the plot.

Overall, I really enjoyed the plot and progression of the relationship between the characters. Friends-to-lovers is always such a good trope, and Alex and Poppy's decade-long friendship was extremely well-written! However, I felt that parts of the book were a little slow-moving which led me to take longer pauses in between reading sessions.

This was such a nice, light-hearted read. I really love traveling so I enjoyed that this book is centered around that. Normally I'm not a fan of the friends-to-lovers trope, but I did really like this one! My only complaint was that it wasn't steamy enough for me (I know, you're shocked!). Other than that, I really loved Poppy and Alex's dynamic and I love that it was a slow burn. I also liked the dual timeline!

Poppy and Alex are officially my children. I love them with all of my heart and yes, they are absolutely perfect for each other. Never have been one for the friends to lovers trope honestly: I'm more of a "dagger at the throat enemies to lovers" type gal but THIS book satisfied my heart in ways I did not know it could be satisfied.
EASY 5/5 read
