Una lectura liviana, entretenida y sumamente simpática.
Emily Henry muestra, una vez más, su gran talento para crear personajes multifacéticos, con familias, historias e ideas que exceden a lo romántico pero contribuyen a la construcción de lo amoroso, tierno y casi creíble. Los diálogos resultan inmersivos, afilados y muy divertidos.
Si bien se atisban algunas discusiones interesantes en relación a la construcción identitaria y su vínculo con nuestra historia personal, las mismas resultan un poco vagas y acotadas. Pero, a fin de cuentas, en People we meet on vacation están presentes todos los ingredientes necesarios para aislarse satisfactoriamente de la realidad comiéndose el friends-to-lovers de principio a final.
Recomiendo frente a bloqueos lectores, ánimos medio grises y ganas de entrar a y distraerse con, aunque sea brevemente, el a veces desprestigiado mundo del romance.

Poppy and Alex are two best friends with contrasting personalities who have vacationed together every summer for a decade. After a falling out two years ago, they haven't spoken. Feeling unfulfilled, Poppy convinces Alex to take one last trip together, hoping to repair their relationship. However, an unspoken truth complicates their connection.

Something I appreciate about Emily's writing, after reading four of her books, is that she doesn't follow a single formula. The premise of each of her books are so different from the other which is probably why everyone seems to have their own favorite.
The same goes for all her FMCs. I always end up finding a piece of myself, however small, in each one. Poppy is someone who is flawed yet endearing in her genuineness. She's a vibrant extrovert grappling with a world that often misunderstands her exuberance. This leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness that fuels her personal journey to find the one person who truly appreciates her for who she is and places her at the center of their world, unaware that this perfect match has been by her side all along.
I LOVED Poppy and Alex! The combo of these two's clashing personalities was perfect! The delightful contrast between Poppy's sunny disposition and Alex's grumpiness created such an irresistible chemistry between them which led to witty exchanges and heartwarming moments.
Emily's ingenious storytelling alternates between past and present, weaving a narrative of memorable vacations that shows us the strong friendship Poppy and Alex have and the mounting tension. I wasn't much of a fan of the 3rd act breakup here, which is why this isn't a full 5-star, but the ending was really sweet.
PWMOV is a story that reminds us that sometimes what we're searching for is closer than we think.

ein sehr sehr cutsie Buch und PERFEKT für den Sommer.
Ich mochte richtig gerne, wie leicht und schnell und flüssig ich das Buch lesen konnte. Die Geschichte ist sehr süß und erheiternd und die Charaktere sind einfach tooll, besonders die Dynamik. Als friends-to-lovers Fan ist es sehr sehr perfeeekt, hihi.
Ich liebe Poppys Familychaos, ihre laute bunte Person. Ich liebe Alex Nachdenklichkeit und Ruhe und ich liebe liebe liebe es, wie die beiden zusammen sind. Die Autorin schafft es soo gut, zu transportieren, wie diese Freundschaft funktioniert, wie gut sich die beiden kennen und wie diese what-if Momente bei so random Sachen aufblitzen. Diese kleinen Gedanken von "ich könnte mich verlieben" und "ich fühle grade so viel".
Ich mochte auch total gerne, dass es in unterschiedlichen Zeiten spielt, auch wenn es immer mini-kurz gedauert hat, such umzustellen. Der Wechsel zwischen jetzt und den vergangenen Urlauben war supi umgesetzt und spannend zu erleben, wie such die Freundschaft und mehr enwickelt.
Das Ende kam tatsächlich ein bisschen zu schnell und es war ein bisschen schade, dass die Vergangenheits-Kapitel immer kürzer wurden.the drama, das am Ende ja nie fehlen darf, hätte ich mir anders gewünscht. Es war jetzt nicht aus dem nichts, aber so plötzlich dann doch ein Problem, das so viel Wirbel erzeugt hat und wo die dann AM FLUGHAFEN das anfangen zu diskutieren, 5min bevor Alex in den Flieger steigt!? Häää...das mochte ich nicht, hätte fpr mich anders gelöst werden können.
FAZIT:
Man darf jetzt nichts super tiefgründiges erwarten, aber als Sommerlektüre zum draußen auf dem Balkon oder am Strand (i wish) zu lesen, ist es optimal: hab viel gelacht, gekichert, mich mit gefreut. War sehr sehr fun zu lesen und perfekt zum Kopf-Ausschalten. So stell ich mir ein gutes Sommerbuch vor.

I love that the characters have no reason to love each other, but despite their differences love each other anyway. Emily Henry had me laughing and swooning.
If you liked When Harry Met Sally this is the book for you!
