people we meet on vacation by emily henry

‘Years of undying love, occasional jealousy, missed opportunities, bad timing, other relationships, building sexual tension, a fight and the silence afterward, and the pain of living life without him.’ A character such as Alex is quite difficult to write – there is a fine line between making him a pushover against Poppy’s strong personality or a little belligerent, but Emily Henry wrote him to perfection! Just wait until you meet Alex! He’s definitely on the list of top book boyfriends! I’m short, loud, and hoping someone comes by and invites us to a real party.’Īlex was a contradiction who completely stole our hearts. ‘He is tall, quiet, and eager to see the library.

We laughed, we cried, and we fell completely in love with their friendship. Broken hearts, insecurities – all their highlights and lowlights were laid bare. We then spend every summer with them as they navigate their lives through many ups and downs. Despite being chalk and cheese Alex and Poppy become best friends. Told over twelve years, we are there as a friendship develops between the sweet and stoic Alex Nilsen and the forthright and flighty Poppy Wright. “…sometimes, when you lose your happiness, it’s best to look for it the same way you’d look for anything else.” When you experience the undercurrent of feelings between two people teetering on the brink of taking a chance at love or remaining friends, you are taken through a gamut of emotions, and Emily Henry nailed it magnificently!

When done right, the friends to lovers’ trope is all-consuming. We loved it all! Everything about this story worked on every level. The chemistry, the characters, the joy, the sadness, and the ever-flowing emotions hit every part of our hearts. Poppy, his snarky funny as hell bestie, kept us on our toes and in fits with her sharp humour.

Alex’s sense of humour was so dry – half the time he was witty without even realising it. The banter was on point – we were constantly giggling and grinning like fools. We never wavered in our love for the characters and the story. I want every moment to matter as much to him as it has to me.’įrom start to finish, this book wowed us. In fact, we’re already stalking her to see what she’s up to next! Responsible for one of our favourites last year with Beach Read, Emily Henry has solidified herself as a 1Click author to us. Absolutely bloody brilliant! A funny and heartfelt emotion fest. Not only that, it’s one of our top reads this year. It was beautiful, magical, funny, sincere, and written to perfection! People We Meet on Vacation is, without a doubt, one of the best friends to lovers romances we’ve ever read.

Stop what you’re doing and grab this book!!! You will love it! Our hearts are overflowing with love –we could sit and re-read this book all over again. “I don’t know how to love someone as much as I love you.”
