The plot of this book centers on the idea
Harriet doesn't tell their mutual friends for months. She can't bring herself too. Wyn and Harriet decided in the breakup that they would take every other summer for the friend vacation, so she will tell their friend group about the break up at the friend vacation. (Emily Henry is obsessed with vacations?) She gets there, and Wyn is there. She is confused why he is acting like they are still dating, and it turns out that her friend Sabrina is engaged, to be married at the end of the week. Harriet and Wyn decide to pretend to still be together to make the week go smoothly. Wyn sometimes acts friendly and loving to her, but in private sometimes blows her off. She tries to purposefully flirt with him, make him "suffer" and it has mixed outcomes.
Eventually, Harriet discovers that Sabrina and Parth knew Wyn and her had broken up. It seemed like the entire week was a big plot to get them back together. Harriet is understandably incredibly angry over this, because of how painful the entire experience had been. Sabrina very clearly has tramua over her own broken family, and was trying to make sure the friend group would remain close by forcing them to consider getting back together. Incredibly manipulative in my opinion and not a very good friend. Even after Sabrina explains it, she disappears and was not able to be found for most of the following day, making everyone have to go looking for her. She apologizes but I still found her character very frustrating overall. I found the lesbians much more enjoyable. Cleo was ready to give it when she needed to, Kimmy was very supportive of Cleo. I liked them.
Harriet finally tells Wyn all of her hard feelings. Wyn finally starts telling her some of his. They figure it out, want to get back together, completely unsure how to do so with their two different lives. Wyn now is selling thousand dollar wooden tables in Montana, and Harriet discovered shes unhappy and bad at being a surgeon (though good at being in school). He tells her not to follow him, because that made him unhappy. She does so anyway because she likes pottery I guess.
This book was frustrating. Couples of 8 years go through major shit and talk about it. They don't just fuck everytime they try to do the Sunday crossword. Their chemistry was focused

Maybe I am a basic bitch but I loved it, okay? I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I got very horny. It was amazing and it ended in a way I loved bc I too am burnt out on a career I thought I would love. I too am clinging to my youth and friends from college like a gd Sabrina. I too would follow my people to the ends of the earth. Anyway, I guess I am an Emily Henry stan now bc I also loved People We Meet on Vacation.stellakay's review against another edition
