What in the contrived-barely-a-reason-not-to-be-together…?

Still, adorable, and I’m a little mad about it. How can the thing keeping these two apart be so DUMB, but the book be enjoyable enough to earn 4 stars? Ugh. I’m annoyed at myself for seeing this book’s glaring flaw and liking it anyway, and I’m annoyed with Ms. Henry for charming me enough to do so.

4 stars — begrudgingly.

I was a puddle of emotions for weeks after reading this. I still can’t get Alex and Poppy out of my head. The flashbacks and buildup of their friendship through the years had me straight up falling in love with them. Alex is one of my fav MMC’s ever. This story is just the sweetest.

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.
