Please note this review may be biased by reading the book while on vacation and it being impossible to be dissatisfied with a read while on a beach chair with a cocktail in hand.

Normally I’m not the biggest fan of friends to lovers but Alex and Poppy just work! I loved seeing their relationship grow from one summer trip to another. From water taxis in Tofino to dancing in the streets of New Orleans, I was rooting for them! 

Loved:

• Emily Henry’s description of each vacation
• The acknowledgment of how scary it can be to love someone 
• Alex’s fear of happiness
• Poppy’s desire to find human connection
• The reveal that what happened in Croatia wasn’t a massive blow up, but was just a miscommunication that neither knew how to get past
