I absolutely loved this book! I really identified with Poppy, since I love to travel and her R+R job is pretty much my dream job. I loved her as a character: quirky, witty, and independent. I also really related to Alex as a character: a bit more shy, reserved, and a perfectionist. You would never think to pair the two together, but this book proves that thought wrong. Reading the “current” plot line in the midst of past vacations the two of them took together really drew me in. I was able to piece together parts of their story in my own mind before the ending, so I felt really engaged throughout the entire narrative. Having a more light hearted, vacation oriented story with a mature, adult-like message really stuck out to me as a great combination that I don’t normally get to experience that often, since I usually go for deeper, more emotional books. I highly recommend checking this one out :)
