People We Meet on Vacation

soni_chad shared a tip "So, I think I began reading this book with unfair expectations. Having read Beach Read prior to this, also by EH, I expected to have somewhat of the same feelings and emotions that book invoked. When that didn’t happen, I felt like I was dragging my knuckles trying to finish it. It wasn’t until page maybe 315 when I truly finally began to understand these characters and their very unique journey (pun intended). Finally I saw why Alex was the way he was, and how Poppy could come across as selfish and careless with his feelings for her. It is during those next chapters that, in my opinion, you begin to really see the growth in Poppy. It is easy to see why Poppy is the exact opposite of Alex and why. How home can be both the very best thing in the world and the worst calamity in life, changing your life in ways that are anchoring. I did not think I would love this book while reading it but, it was the last few chapters that really did it for me entirely. The message on how you can love someone and at the end of the day it’s more than just loving that person, but the life that you see with them, the person they bring out in you, the way they make you feel. How you can literally travel the world and meet aanyone and everyone and it all boils down to the experiences you have during those trips with that person, and how those experiences with that person, always make you remember everything. 😊😊"

justice_wood shared a tip "Wow! Just Wow! Where do I acquire an Alex of my own. I saw so much hype over this book I couldn’t wait to get into it. The honest and true characters went straight for my heart and will more than likely stay there for a while. An easy add to my rereadable favorites list"

canuckblondie shared a tip "Absolutely loved this book. If you're looking for a summer read, love When Harry met Sally..., or love the friends-to-lovers trope, check this one out."

melanie_jaeger shared a tip "I have been looking for a book I couldn’t put down and this was it! I loved Alex and Poppy’s relationship. In my opinion, this one is better than Emily Henry’s other popular book, Beach Read."

paige_tasker_7815 shared a tip "I absolutely loved this book, poppy and Alex had such different personalities that meshed so well. Everything was perfectly written and i never lost attention. Can’t wait to read more from Emily Henry!"

alli_drummonds shared a tip "This book is one you’ll stay up reading into the early morning hours. It is hilarious but, more than that, so honest and emotional."

bella_1234 shared a tip "i really liked this (spoiler) i feel like they reason they stopped talking was way to small for that much buildup. still loved it tho, 4/5"

shania_mcdonald shared a tip "Overall was a book that was more than a love story. This is a story about a woman trying to find herself after the foundation of her core beliefs are shaken."

amanda_sinclair_5366 shared a tip "This book got me back into reading again. The perfect summer or holiday read. It’s such an easy to love and get into book with loveable characters."

maddy_9351 shared a tip "Cute read (3/5). Sadly it wasn’t my favorite :( I didn’t feel the suspense and tug of the heart like I usually do with romance books. I read Beach Read before this and I enjoyed that one more, personally! Still, it was a good book but you have to be patient with it!"

chaeliegh_johnson shared a tip "The undeniable love between these two characters was absolutely heart renchig. If your looking for a quick easy rom-com book, you found it! Try our beach read by Emily Henry."

reyna_jo shared a tip "This book is beyond fabulous. I’m in love with Alex Nilsen, I want one of him special for me so so bad. This book was so cute and so engaging. I was sad to finish it, I wanted to just keep going. It has the kinda charterers you just don’t want to leave behind when you close the book for good. Love love loved it"

audiobookie shared a tip "Sometimes the friends to lovers trope feels frustrating; the reasons that characters aren’t together are dumb insecurities or unrealistic misunderstandings, but in this book I felt like the backstories were so well developed that you really understood how they could’ve gotten to where they did. I love that! Loved the chemistry between Poppy & Alex. The end was sweet in a realistic, happy way. One of my top romcom books now!"

anna_ta shared a tip "emily henry!!!!!! while this one didn’t poke at my sensitivities the way beach read did, there’s such a likability to her characters and the little world she creates is so cozy and deep and special!!! and i did cry a little at the end anyway :-)"

ella_smith_375 shared a tip "it went back and forth between their vacations from years before and their current vacation. if you like friends to lovers you’ve got it"

ljslauren shared a tip "this is my favorite book i’ve read all year!! such an easy read i never wanted to put it down, so perfect for getting out of a reading slump!!"

hannah_stephens_6749 shared a tip "Liked this one but didn’t love it. The main character annoyed me and I skipped some of the flashbacks because I was getting bored."

hend_makhoul shared a tip "what an incredibly cute book! i absolutely love all the self-discovery in this book and i am obsessed with alex and poppy and how obviously in love they have been since they met!! 10/10 read for me!!!"

mariahm_1419 shared a tip "I'm usually one to read self help books but I decided to try something new. And boy it didn't dissapoint! I absolutely love the characters and the meaning behind the story. Read it in two days. So cute."

michaela_bannon_5692 shared a tip "I may be the only person alive that didn’t love this book. I had to force myself to keep reading because I’m not the kind of person that can have a DNF pile. The build up was so slow it bordered on torturous and then wham! The last 70 pages were this books only saving grace for me."

abigail_parrish shared a tip "A really cute & easy story to follow, however a bit predictable and redundant. Still a great summer read, and beautiful story of finding yourself."

fiona_s. shared a tip "I thought this book would be a light read. I was very wrong. It brought out a string of emotions for me, and filled my heart with joy. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!"
