Detailed description:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

this is my first emily henry book. i can say it is a great summer book! i love the way she describes each location they visit and it makes u feel like ur on vacation. i also enjoy what she says about traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing life.
however, the couple was just so mid for me. i dont like the super eccentric girl meet shy awkward guy, it felt a little lackluster in chemistry. i appreciate getting their backstory and seeing their foundation of friendship so it doesnt fully fall into that trope.
also, it took them like 70% to finally get together and after that have a third act breakup which was just like ? for that, im giving this book 3 stars bc i did enjoy her writing style and i look forward to reading her other works. i just did not buy into this couple

I’d belong to reading group where the women are over 50.
My book club usually chooses more age appropriate books. This book is good for probably people in their twenties to forties.
It’s well written and it’s funny. I just didn’t relate to it. I don’t recommend it for anyone who is above 50.
But I would recommend it for anybody below that age just because it’s a fun read it’s quick and I think it’s a really good book to take to the beach

Li o livro em 6 dias, pegando a cada oportunidade que tinha, pois a leitura é muito fluida, os personagens são imperfeitos e cativantes, e apesar de sabermos o que vai acontecer no final, como praticamente qualquer comédia romântica, o desenrolar da história é o mais interessante mesmo. Super bem escrito, despojado e viciante.

In Emily Henry’s “People We Meet on Vacation,” opposites collide in a decade-long saga of friendship, love, and second chances. Poppy and Alex, despite their wildly different personalities—she’s the adventurous New Yorker, he’s the reserved hometown guy—forge a deep bond through annual summer vacations.
The story unfolds through dual timelines, alternating between their carefree adventures and the aftermath of a falling out that fractures their friendship. Poppy, with her irrepressible wanderlust and infectious spontaneity, contrasts sharply with Alex’s quiet, bookish demeanor. Yet their banter and deep understanding of each other’s quirks make them inseparable—until a pivotal moment changes everything.
Henry deftly navigates the friends-to-lovers trope, infusing humor and heart into their journey. Poppy’s quest to revive their tradition becomes a voyage of self-discovery as she confronts her own stagnation and yearning for happiness with Alex. Her character is vibrant and relatable, driving the narrative with wit and charm.
Alex, seen through Poppy’s eyes, is portrayed as lovable yet mysterious—a man of routines and hidden depths. While the single point of view intensifies the story’s tension, glimpses into Alex’s perspective during critical moments could have enriched their evolving relationship.
The novel thrives on Henry’s sharp dialogue and evocative settings. The chemistry between Poppy and Alex crackles with energy, their witty exchanges and unspoken longing drawing me into their emotional rollercoaster.
While the conclusion offers closure and hope, I craved more insight into Alex’s thoughts, particularly in the airport scene near the end. Nonetheless, “People We Meet on Vacation” is a delightful romantic comedy that celebrates the power of friendship, the magic of summer adventures and loving someone “all the way.”

This book is a fantastic read – made me cry because I’m scared that I’ll never get to fall in love. Definetly worth the price.

I did not expect to like this read as much as I did. It made me sad at times, laugh at times and also be introspective of aspects of my life as I can really relate to Poppy and Alex in different ways. Truly enjoyed it.

What a story!!!
There were so many beautiful moments. There were lots of funny moments, and there were some heart breaking parts that had me sobbing. Poppy and Alex brought out feelings I didn’t know I felt anymore….from her experiences at being bullied and his experiences stepping up to take care of his family …all that formed them into the people they became…. Beautifully crafted story by an author who is now one of my one click authors. Emily Henry just can’t tell a bad story!

This was a fun and easy read. I think my favorite parts were the actual trips. It was fun exploring the various locations and the fun situations that Poppy and Alex found themselves in. The character of Poppy enjoyable. Her lighthearted humor was refreshing. I liked the evolution of the relationship of the two best friends. Everyone needs that one person in their lives. This story was a good way to explore that kind of relationship.

I loved that this book felt real. Like these characters were just like people I know and even me. Poppy’s point of view was very reminiscent of my own midwestern experience away from home. Very coming of age and wholesome. Lots of laugh out loud moments.

I enjoyed this book, was not my favorite. Sometimes, it felt a little difficult to keep up with where we were or when. I enjoyed Poppy & Alexes’ relationship and friendships. My husband and I always said we were just friends…
