This wasn't what I expected from the title and the blurb, or from the other books I've read by this author.

It's almost pure angst, complete with cult survivors. The MCs are at rock bottom and are desperately trying to stay afloat.

So many reviews are calling it the perfect summer read and instead the vibe to me was "misty woods in the bleakness of winter as your grieve the loss of a beloved family member and then proceed to trauma dump on the nearest stranger. "

It's not a bad book but it's also not a light-hearted beach read like I was led to expect.

A solid romance for sure! Emily Henry’s usual witty banter, three dimensional characters, and compelling love stories all shine in this book. I just found People We Meet on Vacation to be more compelling than this one.

I thought - think it's brave to believe in love. I mean, the lasting kind. To try for that, even knowing it can hurt you.

girl had a lot going on with her
