People We Meet on Vacation may be the perfect heterosexual romance novel. Poppy and Alex are very loveable characters. This book is a quintessential friends to lovers story but Henry does it so well! Poppy and Alex's strong friendship is developed in a very realistic way that perfectly creates a slow burn love story. Honestly, my only complaint would be that the burn was almost too slow. I liked Poppy and Alex so much that I got frustrated waiting for them to just kiss already. 

This was an incredibly readable and compelling contemporary romance. During a stressful week, I appreciated joining Poppy and Alex on multiple vacays for a reading day of much-needed escape.
