A review by raysberry
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
3.75
Of all Emily Henry books this one is my least favourite. The constant flashbacks to past years are a nice concept but also slow the pace down too much. Shorter would’ve been sweeter in that case.
As always, Henry writes beautifully (especially the erotic scenes) which is the saving grace of this book because it certainly weren’t the characters.
Poppy and Gus are hard to root for. They feel unfinished, like they were still in the drafting stage. Or maybe I just didn’t like them, who’s to say.
It just takes them too long to get together.I just don’t buy that they were friends for so long with no relationship with all that apparent attraction. The revelation that they had an intimate moment before also was very obvious and not special enough to warrant the secrecy surrounding it for so long.
Emily Henry can do better, which is why I’m so harsh with this review. I enjoyed listening to this book because I enjoy her writing but everything else really isn’t that great. I suggest checking out her other works (especially beach read) over this one universally.
