5 "TINY FIGHTER" STARS! 🌠

“I’ve never really felt alone since I met you. I don’t think I’ll ever feel truly alone in this world again as long as you’re in it.”


Beach Read was an instant favorite from Emily Henry. I remember just being swept away by her story telling. Fast-forward some years later, and she's done it again with People We Meet on Vacation !

This book was the ultimate friends-to-lovers, unrequited love story, in which they both put aside their feelings for the sake of their friendship *be still my beating heart*.

Poppy and Alex meet in college and become the best of friends. They're complete opposites. Alex is more the rule follower. He has plans and goals, while Poppy is a wild card. She wants to travel the world and not set any expectations. When they find out they're from the same small town in Ohio, their annual summer trip is born!

Each trip is unforgettable. The story is told from a dual timeline of past and present summers. They're both in different stages of their lives, but they always come back to each other... until one moment ruins everything and they stop talking for two years.

Poppy is given one more chance to make amends and what better way to do that than go on one more vacation together, but this time to try to salvage their rocky friendship and maybe even explore more.

Ugh, this book warmed my heart and made me feel all gooey inside!! I was giddy one second and crying the next. I absolutely adored Poppy and Alex!

I'm ready to read more of Emily Henry's books and fall in love all over again!
