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.
