“Maybe things can always get better between people who want to do a good job loving each other. Maybe that’s all it takes.”

“Like a good book or an incredible outfit, being on vacation transports you into another version of yourself.”

“You can’t outrun yourself. Not your history, not your fears, not the parts of yourself you’re worried are wrong.”

Poppy and Alex officially live rent-free in my head. I love how deep the author went with the characters back stories. Usually, I prefer enemies to lovers but this friends to lovers story really showed me the beauty in this trope. I loved how well they knew each other and their chemistry was absolutely off the charts. The banter between the main characters was genuinely funny. I actually found myself staying up until after midnight on a school night to finish this which is saying something. I love how Henry was able to make me feel everything the characters felt. The yearning was painful!! But, oh, so lovely. There was a spot or two near the end that slowed down but by then I was too far in and just wanted to know how it ended.I will definitely be looking more from Emily Henry.

This book was cute and at times made me laugh but I didn’t love it like I thought I would. I can’t imagine spending 12 years suppressing your feelings about someone. That seems like such a waste of time & I think that’s what bothered me most about this book. The characters were likeable if a bit flat. Usually when I’m reading a book, I prefer reading to any other activity and with this book, I wasn’t as motivated to read and was drawn in by other distractions.

This wouldn’t have been on my TBR but someone said it was a similar story to the love hypothesis but better written. While I agree it was better written, the descriptions of the vacations really felt like they put you there, I just wasn’t really rooting for the couple. I really liked them together and I liked them as individuals but I think having a really close male friend myself made it a bit weird to me. After she comes home from California the sadness Poppy was feeling and the feeling of being lost and not knowing where she belonged felt really relatable, I actually highlighted a quote saying “Living, being responsible for myself, seems like an insurmountable challenge lately.”
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.

I enjoyed Henry’s debut, Beach Read, but it wasn’t a fave of my reading year at the time. People We Meet on Vacation was such a fun and satisfying reading experience that Emily Henry is now an auto-buy author for me, and I feel inclined to go back to Beach Read and see if I appreciate it more on a second reading.

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.

This book is actually great.
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.
