The first time I read People We Meet on Vacation it was exactly what I needed at the exact right time. Now at my first re-read, I still love the story and characters, but have probably cooled just a smidge on the story itself. This was my introduction to Emily Henry over a year ago, and now that I have three of her other popular novels under my belt, I think I understand why People is received slightly different than the others... The reader has to put in WORK with these characters. The story structure and tension is notably different between Poppy and Alex when compared to the protagonists in Beach Read, Book Lovers and Funny Story. And that may not work for everyone, but my goodness do I love it. There's so much history with these characters, and the way the story unfolds shows both their 12 year story, but also their repeated self sabotage. It can be sad at times, which makes the resolution so much sweeter for me. This isn't the most light-hearted of Emily Henry's popular romance, but it's so worth it.

Easy beach read that uses lots of contemporary romance tropes. I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny and felt some plot aspects could have been fleshed out more, but there were some witty lines that made me smile.

One of the main character’s mothers passes away in childbirth before the story begins. There is discussion of how the character’s father never recovered from his grief. One main character recounts several instances of bullying from her childhood. One character is made fun of (in an unnecessarily aggressive way) by two other characters for liking reality tv. One character gets pneumonia (there is a detailed account of her illness). One minor character is described smoking marijuana. Another minor character smokes a cigarette. Lots of drinking (including one scene where the two in characters get quite drunk). A few mentions of pets that passed away. Several brief sex scenes. Occasional use of “f*ck” and other swear words.

One character has a pregnancy scare, but the tests come back negative. One character has a vasectomy. Although there is no physical cheating, the two main characters are physically affectionate and emotionally intimate, even when they are in relationships with other people. The two main characters go to therapy (separately) to work out their issues.

”home is my favorite place.”

This slow burn, friends to lovers romance filled with inside jokes, pining and tender moments was such a joy to read! I love how Emily Henry is able to create not only a beautiful love story, but one that also dives into more meaningful topics such as therapy and grief.

I actually loved the back and forth dual timeline aspect and getting to see how their friendship blossomed over the years and the current day chapters showing the aftereffects of their fractured relationship with Poppy & Alex finding their way back to each other.

I just can’t wait to pick up more from EH❤️
