Loading... People We Meet on Vacationby Emily Henry
![]()
No current Talk conversations about this book. Not my cup of tea, but I read it anyway. ( ![]() 25 pages and gave up Finished This is it. This is the one. Emily Henry, we have finally clicked. I've always found her novels a little too literary and very good but I have to remind myself to finish them. Not this one. This one was UNGH. My chest felt too small to contain all the emotions. Cleverly plotted, and I loved that this was such a growing story and a finding your place story as well as the most delicious, delectable romance. If you feel like an effortless romance with adorable main characters who have crazy levels of chemistry then this is the book for you. Emily Henry writes such funny and relatable characters that you can't help but fall in love with. Alex and Poppy are best friends whose annual holidays are a great source of joy but simmering underneath is always the big 'what if'. The story jumps back and forth in time as we learn more about why these friends haven't spoken for two long years. A perfect lazy weekend read. CW: sexual content I think the author is trying to prove her claim from the last book she wrote about how romance books are really just literary fiction novels with a happy ending. I really didn’t like this aspect of the last book and here i think it resulted in an book that just drags on way too fucking long. After this book I can easily say that I never want to read another flashback sequence again. These pointless flashbacks really ruined the pacing of the book and overall didn’t really add anything to the book that couldn’t have been dealt with in the current timeline. It’s just a bit much. I would say that this could be qualified as literary fiction but it just wouldn’t be very good because there isn’t really much meaning besides for the romance aspects. Better than the last but still a bit tedious. no reviews | add a review
"What happens when best friends with nothing in common come together, fall apart, and fall in love? The Vacationers meets When Harry Met Sally..., from the author of Beach Read When Poppy met Alex, there was no spark, no chemistry, and no reason to think they'd ever talk again. Alex is quiet, studious, and destined for a future in academia. Poppy is a wild child who only came to U of Chicago to escape small-town life. But after sharing a ride home for the summer, the two form a surprising friendship. After all, who better to confide in than someone you could never, ever date? Over the years, Alex and Poppy's lives take them in different directions, but every summer the two find their way back to each other for a magical weeklong vacation. Until one trip goes awry, and in the fallout, they lose touch. Now, two years later, Poppy's in a rut. Her dream job, her relationships, her life--none of it is making her happy. In fact, the last time she remembers feeling truly happy was on that final, ill-fated Summer Trip. The answer to all her problems is obvious: She needs one last vacation to win back her best friend. As a hilariously disastrous week unfolds and tensions rise, Poppy and Alex are forced to confront what drove them apart--and decide what they're willing to risk for the chance to be together"-- No library descriptions found. |
