This was my 2nd read of PWMOV and I loved it. I was literally smiling, giggling, kicking my feet as I read Alex and Poppy's banter. So cute! Just like my first read, I don't really like the ending. It goes back and forth one or two times too many. And during my first read, I remember feeling anxious about their situation (claustorphobic apartment, stifling heat, everything going wrong), but I didn't feel that as much this read. The travel aspect is really fun to read about and of course the wedding festivities were fantastic, I just wish there was more of it!

I really enjoyed (most of) this book! I liked the characters Poppy and Alex and I thought their personalities were really fun together and interesting to read about. I also liked Poppy's friend Rachel, but I was disappointed that she was in the beginning and then only briefly mentioned a couple times for the rest of the book.
I'm not a huge fan of the "miscommunication" trope, so that was frustrating sometimes. However, most of the miscommunication was understandable and relatable. Although I will say that my least favorite thing about the book is how the end comes together, and the part that miscommunication plays in the end sequence. I thought the ending was a little rushed and a bit of a letdown. And a little corny, but that's what we love about these books :)
All in all, this was a super fun read and I would definitely read it again!
