I LOVED this book. In no small part to my personality already basically being the main character’s. I’m from Ohio. I run a travel blog and have wanderlust. I get migraines. I studied creative writing. I have cats. 
But besides all that, I loved that this book fueled my wanderlust and inspired me to travel more, I love the romance, heavy in the slow burn. And though it was weird having the story told in mostly flashbacks, I almost find I preferred that to how Beach Read was told (though I also recommend Beach Read!) it’s not perfect—I would have liked to see more in the present—but it’s still five stars.

This book was a fun and easy read!  I liked Emily Henry's most recent book, Book Lovers, so I thought I'd give her backlist a try as a palate cleanser between heavier reads.  This one was just as sexy and fun, but I have to say the reasoning for the couple not getting together just grew more confusing to me as time went on.  They're not very nice to each other about the romance that hangs between them, and sometimes it felt like the masc lead was projecting way too much of his own insecurities onto the protagonist for it to be healthy (and the fact that a therapist wouldn't notice that is a baffling idea, lol). 

Regardless, it was a fun and easy book for those who like travel and friends-to-lovers!  I would read it again and recommend it to others for certain.

People We Meet on Vacation was a slightly unexpected breath of fresh air!

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Emily Henry’s first book, Beach Read, and I had heard that most people prefer that to People We Meet on Vacation, but I had an amazing time with this book! 

I loved Poppy and Alex’s relationship, how it progressed, and the work they did on themselves to grow both separately and together. I also loved all the characters places they visited, and the structure of the book. I do wish there had been more time given to them as an actual couple, but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

People We Meet on Vacation exceeded my expectations. 4.75 stars.

 Vacation seemed like the perfect time to finally, FINALLY, read People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry. Alas, it didn't quite live up to my hopes 😬 I didn't dislike it, but it definitely didn't hit me as hard as Beach Read. The romance is cute, and I love a slow burn friends-to-lovers, but I just didn't care for Poppy which was obviously an issue. If you can't root for your romance heroine, what's the point? She's not the absolute worst, but I found her to be selfish and impulsive in a way that didn't make me especially want her to get her happy ending 🤷🏼‍♀️ ah well, it was still a cute, quick read if not my absolute favourite.
