People We Meet on Vacation (Large Print / Paperback)
Staff Reviews
I am now absolutely obsessed with Emily Henry!
Live vicariously through travel-writer Poppy Wright and her amazing "will they or won't they?" friendship with Alex Nilsen. If you're like me you'll find yourself talking back to the book; "just tell him you love him already!" And maybe you'll also be on the edge of your seat as Poppy recounts each of their Summer Trips from years past, considering how that all plays into the mishaps of their present day experiment. I am a new fan of contemporary romance because of authors like Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert - I loved falling into this friendship.

“What fun! This delightful book should be in every beach bag this summer. A hilariously comedic rom-com with memorable characters, set in varied vacation spots in various years. I enjoyed the changing timeline and seeing the relationship as it grew through the years.”

Description
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. And somehow, they are the best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart, but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. When someone asks when Poppy was last truly happy, she knows it was on that ill-fated trip with Alex. So, she decides to convince him to take one more vacation together. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one truth that has always stood in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
