People We Meet On Vacation - Emily Henry

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
