People We Meet On Vacation

OH MY GOD! I know why people are obsessed with Emily Henry now!! I am going to read everything she writes! Alex and Poppy! the people I felt closest to myself! I related to them on different aspects. Alex in his silence and poppy in her turmoil.. I never felt so seen by a book, Their banter?? Their yearning?? Chef's Kiss!! I loved everything about this book! No not because it is popular but it made me maybe.. maybe someone is out there who can love me the way Alex loves Poppy and Poppy loves Alex! Emily henry spoke to me in a language I didn’t know I need! I just picked this up so I can watch the movie but it’s the best thing I did!

So there’s this theory that opposites attract but no one actually portrays it as beautifully as Emily Henry has portrayed in this book. The main characters, Alex and Poppy were certainly poles apart but the way they simply could understand each other without speaking a word, the way they found comfort, warmth, and safety in each other was really beautiful. And yes, it opened my eyes to the perspective that how someone who is absolutely different from you can become exactly the person you were looking for all this time. The theme is usual, predictable yet felt surprisingly new at times. The book talked in depth about the childhood traumas and the need healed to feel things deeply, without any fear. The storyline had its ups and downs, there were times when I was hooked to the book and then there were times when I was just rushing it through. But altogether it was a good read.

There isn't much to say about this book other than that it was a fun read. Though I think Beach Read was a better book than this one, I did like certain things about it. Like how Poppy and Alex's friendship was and how Poppy's childhood experiences held her back and how she figured it all out. Although I did get bored at one point and felt like I just needed to skip to the point where it all makes sense again. So that's why I'll give it a 3.5. I loved Emily's writing in Beach Read and somehow, I didn't quite like it as much in this book. But if you like best friends to lovers, lots of pining and vacation vibes, this book has it!

“I don't think I knew I was lonely until I met you.” Emily Henry People We Meet on Vacation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ first of all, i want what they have. best friends to lovers?? When Poppy and Alex meet the first year at college the only thing, they have in common is the area they grew up in. Alex is reserved and quiet, while Poppy is outgoing and full of spunk. After they graduate from college, they go their separate ways but develop a long-distance friendship and continue their yearly adventures. The Summer Trip becomes an annual thing for Poppy and Alex. Poppy and Alex haven’t spoken in 2 years. Just like Harry and Sally, Poppy and Alex always find their way back to each other. Their friendship was one of the most important relationships in their lives and they didn't want to cross any lines that may ruin their friendship. I absolutely loved this book. It had me laughing, crying, heart racing and hoping that these two would have a perfect ending. One thing that stuck out to me is how little physical descriptors there are of Poppy and Alex. Probably the quickest Novel I have ever read. I stayed up until 3am devouring this book.

i love it. if you like yearning, read it. if you admire good writing, read it. if you like happy ending, read it.

A perfect summer vacation read. Literally hurt my chest to put it down without reaching the end.

Like any romance, you begin the book in anticipation that the leads will end together. They do. But in any slow burn romance, how they end up together is what matters. And in Emily Henry's capable hands, the story makes you curious about what happens next, while also making you laugh, and making your heart flutter. I would buy this and the Beach Read, and whatever Emily writes next!

It's not at all kept my interest to read on, i myself a traveller and make such good memories. Even her love making scenes description was not at all exciting or thrilling. I read the book - skip - skip- skip paragraphs way. Really disappointed
