Eu não consegui me conectar tão bem assim com os personagens, apesar de achar interessante o assunto mais pesado abordado no romance.
Apesar de tudo, a escrita de Emily é boa a ponto de me fazer querer terminar a história, ficar curiosa pra onde estava indo além do final já esperado.

"It's the very fact that it's finite that makes traveling special. You could move to any one of those destinations you loved in small doses , and it wouldn't be the spellbinding, life-altering seven days you spent there as a guest, letting a place into your heart fully, letting it change you."

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.
