 Woah, OKAY this was certainly a very pleasant surprise!

I was very hesitant picking this one up due to the blurb and it was only the fact that it was on KU that swayed me to give it a shot. 

And boy, oh boy, am I glad I did!

Between the deep and seriousness of the two FMC (Yes, this is a F/F. I initially thought it was an M/F/F but not at all!) there was such tenderness and sweetness that just gripped your heart! 

Very excellent start to 2022!

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

Constantly being involved in relationships/intimate with strangers when the MCs clearly are in love with each other. I couldn’t stand it.
