Reviews with content warning for Animal death - Pessoas que Conhecemos nas Férias

You have no idea how much I needed to finally read a GOOD romance. I was so tired of the shitty romances I've been reading lately. I've been wanting to read this book for so long, I was scared I had my expectations way too high. But it DID NOT disappoint. It had the slow burn, the right person wrong time trope, a GOOD friends to lovers story. I absolutely loved how it made me feel.

Although at first I was having a hard time engaging with the characters and their story (and with the way it was written), I ended up just going with flow and having a great time.

This is my favorite book by Emily Hebry so far.

very spicy book. The character's journey is a moving one. You want to scream to get it together but when characters finally go through self reflection and theapy I found myself feeling it was prefect. Poppy needed to confront herself and find herself. Alex needed to confront his fears. I lovethe open future for them. They are together but where they will live is undecided.

called quits cause i didnt like the going back and forth to past and present kind of writing. i dont want to read about the mc missing and remembering her past with him. let's carry on with the present cause i already get that they are good friends and they used to spend their summer vacations together. or if the storyline on the past is so important, the story should have started right from the beginning of their memories instead of just thinking about their past memories. its also not really giving me summery vibes(in the 10% that i've read) which is a let down cause i started reading this book cause i wanted to read something summery.

On vacation, you can be anyone you want.

People We Meet on Vacation reminded me how much I love the friends-to-lovers trope. Being friends first is a great foundation for a romantic relationship because you get to know someone deeply as a friend before taking things further.

I loved it, except for the end where I feel a loose thread wasn't tied up: how different Alex and Poppy are.

They differ greatly, particularly on important deal-breakers like having kids (Alex wants them, Poppy doesn't). Alex was right: they don't make sense together. I understand that Alex is willing to do anything for Poppy, as everything (for him) revolves around her, but

I'm bothered by how different they are, even in minor things.

However, I must admit that this book touched me on a personal level. If I had read it five or six years ago, I know I would have made different choices in my life. I would have either waited or chosen a different path. This book was my "what if," my alternate reality, and honestly, it hurts to think about it.

I can confidently say that I'll read anything Emily Henry writes. Although I've only read two of her books so far (and by the way, Beach Read is much better than People We Meet on Vacation and I prefer Gus over Alex by a long shot), I'm eagerly looking forward to reading Book Lovers and Happy Place.
