The 30-Second Spoiler-Free Review
Not about the people we meet on vacation, but the ones we go on vacation with
Makes me want to travel to the French Quarter and go bar hopping
Closer to YA than adult romance, no fade to black but a 1/5 on the spice scale
Back and forth timeline is a little hard to keep up with, felt like I needed a map and hand-written timeline
Overall, 4/5 stars finished in one sitting

The 5-Minute Review
Poppy and Alex have an impressive ability to endlessly talk about anything, and the goofiness that arises from these random conversations makes my heart melt.
More of a slow-burn romance, a bit too slow for my liking. A good fluff read between thrillers.
Really wish there had been one chapter of his point of view, I'd love to see Alex's POV on some of these conversations, especially when Poppy was sick and delirious.
Other Emily Henry books were better, less predictable plots. 12 years? TWELVE. And they threw it down the drain after one slightly drunk kiss? Are you guys even friends?
Lost a point for the One-Bed-Trope. I saw that coming the second the Airbnb was mentioned, and I'm so over it as a romance trope. Speaking of, 85 degrees is sweltering, and unacceptable.
Alex trying to lie and say he didn't remember things from previous vacations that were obviously burned into Poppy's mind hit such a sore spot for me, sure let's vice grip my heart with that!
Drama, giggles, some seriously drawn out tension, and the absurdity of the inside jokes; "It speaks to me".
Don't @ me for not knowing When Harry Met Sally
