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.

Croatia is on page 319. All the build up felt underwhelming

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!

It was a fun little read. Poppy and Alex were cute.

The way the Croatia reveal was so unsatisfactory... Bro I assumed what happened decently early in. Like... that's all that happened?

I didn’t love this story as much, but Emily Henry’s banter always hits! And so does her MLM/pyramid scheme hate!
