If there’s one thing Meghan Quinn is going to do is deliver a knock out romantic comedy that you can’t put down! Meghan has been my go to author for years and her books never fail to make me smile. Tessa is on vacation in Santorini weeks before her sisters wedding and there she meets her childhood crush Myles. Back in high school, Tessa made a deal to find her soulmate before her sister gets married. In the midst of pranks and crazy antics, Tessa and Myles become ally’s.

I had such a fun time reading this book. It was lighthearted and perfect for the upcoming summer mood. I liked Myles backstory and the ongoing storyline with him and his dad. Plus, the writing as always was fun and steamy.

The cover, the setting, the premise, and the Meghan Quinn promise- AH, I was so jazzed for this one. I was ready for loads of fun, charming shenanigans, and all that Meghan Quinn humor and heart. And Vacation Wars certainly brought some fun.

Tessa and her family live the dream vacationing in my ultimate dream vacation locale- Santorini Greece. And over the years, she's formed a relationship with the lovable Myles, a boy now man that has captured her heart. Now she's visiting for her sister Roxanne's wedding, and unfortunately for awkward Tessa Roxanne and her friends are holding to her a contract they made many years ago. And, these ladies are about to get up to some trouble.

I loved the history these characters shared- the childhood crush she's long been longing for and the glorious location where their paths crossed every year. And OMG I adored Myles- he's charming and sweet and supportive he is with Tessa- like so dreamy as he makes her comfortable and is her rock. Tessa is a bit over the top with her awkward flair at first- but her and Myles' chemistry is really adorable and charming. The actual romance part really worked for me- even if the spice is a bit Meghan-lite.

The rest, however, I didn't love as much. I didn't love the childish antics of the ladies and at times the family drama detracted from the central romance. The antics were more hyperbolic in a frustrating than charming way unfortunately- I normally love Meghan's secondary cast and here I just wanted to escape for Myles and Tessa soley.

I loved this book and I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Myles and Tessa were everything in this book and you can't help but fall in love with these two. I loved seeing their relationship grow and the chemistry between them was amazing and you can't help root for these two. This book will have you laughing one minute and crying the next!

loved this book! If you need a fun, beachy read, look no further!

The majority of this book takes place in Santorini, Greece where Tessa and her family have visited every single summer (it’s where her father is from). She has always crushed on Myles who happens to be the owner of the resort’s child. They had very limited interaction together growing up, just the awkward crushing from afar.

After a long hiatus from seeing Myles at the resort, Tessa returns once again for her twin sister’s wedding. She doesn’t expect to see Myles again, but once she does, hilarity and awkwardness ensue!

Myles and Tessa are brought together in the most unconventional way. Myles saves her after each moment of ridiculousness that her sister and friends throw her way.

This story is definitely a romance, but it also touches on a changing friend dynamic, a strained relationship with one’s father, and a sibling relationship at its brink.

Grab a towel and some sunscreen and dive in to this one while you’re sitting at the beach or poolside. You won’t be disappointed.

Only Meghan Quinn can make you laugh one minute and cry the next!
I loved Myles and Tessa’s story! It was beautiful.
I love their connection. Their love for their family and their love for each other!
The narrators were incredible bringing the story to life!

4/5

This was such a fun read and really got me in the mood for summer!

I absolutely love Meghan Quinn. Her writing style is so unique and I love the concepts that she creates as the backdrop to her books.

Overall I really enjoyed the plot line! I personally love some mutual pining, and this fulfilled my expectations. At times I found myself getting annoyed with Roxane in trying to manipulate and play matchmaker. I understand that she was coming from a good place, but it still annoyed me.

Other than that I think this is a perfect introduction to Meghan Quinn's writing! There not too much spice and it gives the perfect summer vibes!

Thank you Netgalley, Meghan Quinn, and Montlake for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sneaking glances during vacations as Tessa and Miles grew up formed a mutual attraction. Tessa, being the shy twin that says random off the wall things when nervous, calls Miles lips luxurious and then does not see him again for 7 years! Of course she assumed it was due to her comment but he was in New York going to school to help his baba’s hotel. When he finally returns Tessa and her friends are at the hotel to celebrate her sister getting married. What miles does not know is when Tessa and the friends were in school they made a pact that involved perfume. Tessa’s twin decides to live up to the contract and find the love of Tessa’s life which then in turn starts the vacation wars. Through many embarrassing and hilarious attempts Tessa teams up with Miles as an escape from her friends “attacks”. This brings them close together and soon a relationship is formed but distance will soon play a huge role in their relationship. Will time, emotions, and many trials end what was a love story for the ages?

Like all of Meghan Quinn’s books, this story has quickly become one of my favorites! Miles is so sweet and understanding with a pinch of possession, while Tessa is hilarious with her outbursts and so nurturing for caring for her sister and friends so fiercely. I absolutely loved all of the back and forth with the “wars”, from wearing a pink robe, getting embarrassed in the local dive bar, being set up with dull Jeremiah, and early morning wake up calls. This story gets another 5 stars from me!

Vacation Wars is quintessential Meghan Quinn.
Sassy Heroine? Check.
Sexy Hero? Check.
Romance? Obviously.
Absolute hilarity? Check, check, and check.

Vacation Wars is a fun read with a beautiful story about finding love and figuring out how to put yourself first. Tessa and her sister's toxic relationship is somtimes hard to read, but watching Tessa grow from that conflict is satisfying because she ultimately finds love. And Meghan's description of Greece will have you booking a trip ASAP.
Vacation Wars is the perfect beach read and it does not disappoint.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this title.

I usually a huge Meghan Quinn fan but this just didn’t do it for me. Tessa and Roxane were both so unlikable and their arguments were mostly annoying. Also Tessa following a contract from high school was so frustrating.

Wow, after books featuring hockey players and billionaires Vacation Wars was a welcome change of pace. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the Vancouver Agitators and Billionaire Cane brothers antics but this book, while hilarious, also featured characters a bit more relatable. I admit wanting to climb inside and throat punch the Mean Girls and their childish actions though. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed this book. I loved their story but I did feel like some of the stuff between her and her sister and friends was a little extreme. SLIGHT SPOILER: I'm not sure why she just didn't tell them about him. I did also enjoy reading about Greece. It makes me want to visit there even more. Fantasy or not.

Vacation Wars came about for Tessa and her merry band of friends, Clea and Lois, along with her twin sister, Roxane had a contract with rules and had the list notarized when they were teenagers. One of the rules was that if one of them were still single at the age of thirty they would forfeit, and their friends would find someone for the one that was single. Well Tessa’s number came up since she was the only one still single. This group of friends went to Greece together to reconnect.

I felt sorry for Tessa because you could say the girls her friends and sister turned into mean girls. Well maybe they weren’t that bad.

Greece is where Tessa and her family would visit during the summer months while she was growing up. Tessa ended up talking to Myles, they had childhood crushes on each other.

I enjoyed reading this book. I found myself chuckling and there were LOL moments for sure.

I loved Tessa’s character. She was so awkwardly cute and had a runaway mouth. It took a bit to like her friend’s and sister until you found out what was really going on in the undercurrent. I loved Myles and his best friend Toby. I am hoping that Toby will get a book, maybe with Tessa’s sister. Who knows! Only this author knows what will happen. In the meantime, I am going to give this book 4.5 Stars and as always, I look forward to more of Meghan Quinn’s books. She writes with so much humor. I know I will get a good laugh out of her books!

This felt very different to Meghans other books and took me a while to settle into. I loved the romance between Myles and Tessa they were so adorable. They have both watched each other holiday after holiday and never made a move then this holiday was the one to change them all. Tessa was a great character. She was awkward and rambles when shes not comfortable with someone but she aoon relaxed with Myles and it was easy to see the connection these 2 had. The story with Myles family and the business really choked me. I really felt for his dad. I wasn't a huge fan of the twin sister perfume contract part but it didn't deter me from enjoying the rest.

This was great full of all the laughs you except from meghan. All the laughs and ALL the spice!!! Tessa and miles had much more than a fling their connections was undeniable. They were perfect for each other and tessas babbling cracked me up!!

Makes me want to travel to greece tomorrow!!

Greece is one of my favorite vacation spots, so any book that has it as the setting always gets me, and this one is no exception. The setting, and the MCs (Tessa & Myles), were just so good!

Just know that you will be laughing throughout the book, and I highly recommend this one for the beach/pool.

Tessa and her family have been visiting Santorini for as long as she can remember. It is there she finds her first crush. So when she vacations with her sister and friends before he sisters’ wedding, she is surprised to see him, aka “The Bulge” as he was named years ago by her sister. While they have never talked before this trip, she enlists his (real name Myles) help in warding off her vacation companions as they seek to find her a love interest. Myles and Tessa find devious ways in this war of tug and pull between hiding how they really feel from her sister and friends.

A little long, but the book held my attention and made want to find out how it ended. All in all, I loved the characters and was rooting for Tessa and Myles the whole time.

Laugh out loud funny with lots of yearning and sibling rivalry. Tessa is sure to become a fan favorite character. She’s quirky and hilarious! And Myles is just dreamy!! I love every single MQ book I’ve ever read and this one is no exception. Phenomenal story telling and the descriptions of the town they’re vacationing in makes me want to visit!

Not your typical romance!

I loved the witty banter and friendship between Tessa and Myles as they scheme together against Roxanne (whom I wanted to throw rotten eggs at most of the time!)

Myles was the constant scene stealer throughout the book. His dedication to resolving family drama, and saving the resort won me over and kept me glued til the end.

This story was definitely more on the emotional side than a typical Meghan Quinn book, but watching their tale unfold over time was SO worth the ride!

2.5/5

When requesting this read I was so excited based on the blurb. I mean, I love a fun prank war, especially with a dash of romance. And that’s what I got…minus the fun.

I really wanted to love this one, it sounded so carefree and like it was going to be a light new adult read. Unfortunately, I got new adult vibes with 30+ year old characters acting like vindictive children. The prank wars were more like “let me treat you like trash” wars and the immaturity of most of the characters really killed any possibility of liking this for me.

Things I disliked:
⛱️ lack of communication (not miscommunication, they just don’t communicate at all)
⛱️ unnecessarily long
⛱️ ages don’t fit the plot
⛱️ VERY immature characters
⛱️ keeping the MMC a secret from everyone (seemed pointless)

Things I liked:
⛱️ the budding romance
⛱️ awkward characters
⛱️ lifelong secret crush

Came for the hot greek guy, stayed for the train wreck that was the friend group.

Perfect if you love Bride Wars.

Let me start off by saying I love this author. I hate giving this low of a rating. But the family/best friend stuff was way too much for me. But just because it wasn't one of my favs doesn't mean it won't be one of yours! That being said, we get the story of Myles and Tessa. This was a slow burn but I liked how they have crushed on each other for years. I really liked Myles especially when communicating feelings. I'm glad when Tessa finally stood up for herself but honestly it was too late for me. I love that they first met in Greece a place I always wanted to go. I'm glad things got resolved in the end. Overall it was a good book by a great author, just not my fav. Looking forward to this authors next book.
