The character development of both Poppy and Alex was something I enjoyed, but this book is somewhat predictable and I found myself looking forward to the end, just so the book would be over.

I was very excited to finally make time for this one, even though I was way behind the hype. Beach Read was in my Top Ten list of 2020 so I had high hopes for People We Meet on Vacation. Poppy was such a fun main character and I was obsessed with her job as a travel writer. Alex was such a sweet love interest and I couldn't help but love him. I think my favorite thing about this book was the flashbacks to previous summers when Poppy and Alex traveled together and seeing how their friendship evolved. I don't always love friends to lovers but this one was done really well.

Consider me an Emily Henry fan! I can't wait to see what she writes next.

Emily Henry is so much fun to read! PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION gives the reader humor, heart, and honest characters. There is always something real about the people we meet in Henry's books. I loved every single moment spent reading this one.

I love a good friends to lovers trope, and going on vacations really sealed this one as a new favorite romance.

Love this book and this author! She creates great characters and sweeping romance that pulls me in every time.

Absolutely loved it! This book was everything I love about Emily Henry’s writing and more. It had comedy, it had snark, it had heat, it had tenderness, and it had a good message. I could not put it down and instantly fell in love with it. Honestly, from the first time I read her works I became an instant fan and will read all future books.

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry is a super fun summer read! I loved her last book Beach Read so I was very excited to read this one! It’s an updated take on the When Harry Met Sally type story (which is one of my all time favorite movies) with cute characters and witty banter!

Colorful Poppy and straight-laced Alex meet at college orientation and are complete opposites. They meet again when she gets a ride home with him at the end of their Freshman year. After realizing they do get along, they become traveling buddies and take a trip together each summer but they keep their relationship completely platonic, or maybe mostly platonic😘. Through the years each of them have other relationships but none of those pan out. Does their friendship get in he way of those other relationships? How do they really feel about each other? They take one last summer trip to figure it out!!

Definitely put this on your summer reading list!!

I absolutely love her books! This one is a top favorite of 2021! I have recommended it to all my friends as a fun romance read!

This was such a great book! I really enjoyed this. I liked the main characters Poppy and Alex. I loved how realistic they are. I can't wait to read her other books!

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry was yet another of my most anticipated reads for this summer, and I was super curious to finally read the book. I read Beach Read last summer, and I was really interested to see how this new book would compare.

There are so many things that I really enjoyed about this book! One thing was the characters. The book has so many interesting characters... including the two main characters, Poppy and Alex. I undeniably related more to Alex in his love of books and not being very spontaneous, but I think we all want to be a little like Poppy and her freedom to wander. I am such a homebody, and I can’t even imagine what that’s like. But it was fun to see it through Poppy’s eyes! Also, some of the people that they met on vacation were awesome!

Another thing that I like about the book was the storyline. It totally made me want to travel more, and, as I mentioned above, I am certainly more of a homebody. All of the places that Poppy and Alex visited throughout the book sounded interesting, and they were so well described, I could almost imagine being there as well. (I love it when that happens!)

I’m really glad that I chose to read this book in the summer, as it definitely felt like a summer read to me. Oh and I listened to the audiobook as well, and the narrator, Julia Whelan, did such a great job with the voices! Julia also narrates the audiobook for Beach Read, and has read a few others that I have checked out this year! It’s so fun to listen to a familiar voice.

Overall; People We Meet on Vacation was a fun summer read! I’m very glad that I had it on my TBR this season, and I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on Emily’s next book, Book Lovers, which is currently set to release May 2022, also from Berkley! It sounds fantastic as well, so if it’s not already on your TBR, go ahead and add it now. *grin*

Happy Reading!

I absolutely adored this book! I think the romance between Alex & Poppy was adorable! The friends to lovers trope in this book was done so well & I would recommend it to any romance lovers out there.

Another amazing book from Emily Henry. I just loved this one so much & I can’t wait to read more from her!!

I absolutely loved this book. It is such a fun read! It is definitely a summer read but I read it in December and it was just as good! Poppy and Alex are so adorable. This is my second book by this author and I loved the first one so much this one did not disappoint. This author really knows how to write romance. I was captivated from beginning to end! I can’t wait to read her next book!

Alex and Poppy are best friends who go on vacation every year. Poppy is the chirpy heroine while Alex is closed-off. After a fallout two years ago, they decide to restart their tradition of vacations again. Many things go wrong, forcing them to acknowledge their feelings.

The way this book took too long to get to the point was too much. The main characters are in love and don’t tell that to each other for 12 years. I have already forgotten the reason they have a fall out, but I remember thinking that it was pretty stupid (if you remember the reason, please comment so that I don’t have this at the back of my mind the entire day).

When the feelings revelation finally happens, it feels anticlimactic and cliche. The back and forth in the timelines is a little confusing but you get the hang of it. But a lot of those past things feel unnecessary to the plot.

People have been talking about how this book rejuvenated the friends-to-lovers trope, but I thought it was a pretty standard take by the author. Don’t get me wrong, I kinda liked Beach Read but this book was disappointing.

Thank you Penguin Random House International and Berkley Romance for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review

Friendship always has a strong foundation on romance novels. Stories like this makes you want to cheer the protagonist and scream "FINALLY!". Emily Henry once again did an amazing job making her readers fall in love.Poppy and Alex proved it.

Poppy Wright and Alex Nilsen are best friends for more than a decade.Two individuals who are polar opposites yet shared a tight knit friendship. They travel and explore together every summer but not once hooked up. However, there's a fallout between them. Two years later, they're once reunited for a one last travel and hopefully this summer they'll reconcile or perhaps confess each other's true feelings. The question is, who's going to make a first move?

Their romance is adorable and cute. I was rooting for them. The feelings they had for each other is mutual, both are so afraid they might ruin their friendship. The slowburn romance here is well done and there are times I become impatient because I just want them together. There's a song by a Filipino band that reminds me of their journey and just hit it on repeat. (Please listen to Pagtingin by Ben & Ben, I swear. It's perfect for them. It has an English translation so feel free to watch --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ktQ...)

I can't wait for Emily Henry's novels. They are just so good and cozy. Of course swoon-worthy.

Hilariously heartwarming. Feel good fun. This book was immensely enjoyable and so much fun to read. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

This was another fantastic read by Emily Henry, and I immediately fell in love with the awkward friendship of the main characters. It was nice seeing into the past as the story progressed to learn how they went from close, to estranged, and into a budding romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for an e-galley of People We Meet on Vacation.

I have a hard time deciding what my favorite rom-com trope is, but slow burn friends to lovers is definitely in the top 3. Add in a healthy dose of traveling and the "there's only one bed" trope and I'm sold. From start to finish, this book was enjoyable and the perfect escape from reality.

I loved the character progression of Alex and Poppy over the 10 years the book spans. The quirks and mishaps had me rolling with laughter. Watching Poppy and Alex grow as friends and individuals just added to the connection to the book and story. Emily Henry knocked it out of the park again.

Whoops, forgot to come back here and post! I loooooooved this book and gave it a short but positive review on Goodreads, and I also just tell people about it all the time.

Phenomenal, really fun summer read! Emil Henry is the best! Thank you so much for a copy of this novel! I think it was a bit overhyped so that lessen my star rating but it was a fun, rom com read and if you go into it with that mindset, it will not dissapoint!
