People We Meet on Vacation

By: Emily Henry

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

NOW A NETFLIX FILM! • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story 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?

Emotional thrill ride

First off, I am a 27 year old man, I work at a hot ass foundry melting down metal all day for a living surrounded by a bunch of hardened felon's cussin and razzin each other all day. Even talkin about the wrong movie will land you at the business end of ceaseless gay jokes until the end of time. Of course i pay this no mind and seen this book had good reviews and had been wanting to switch up the genre rut Ive been in so i gave it a shot. I found myself keeping my shaded safety glasses on all day at work to hide my tears while i listened. Its sappy and sweet and lovey dovey but the character development is superb, the writing is engaging, the story is believable even if maybe a little far fetched with how dense 2 people would have to be to ignore their own and each others feelings for that amount of time but there are reasons and explanations given that are suitable for my needs (which are this book needing to be just realistic enough for me to get lost in it and enjoy the pure love the characters develope for each other) I lovvved it. Already got her previous book an Im loving that even more than this. So glad i found it. LOVVEE💗

Not my cup of tea

This book just dragged on! I usually don't write bad reviews but this story just didn't do it for me. I was going to return it halfway through but audible did not let me return. I guess too many books I did not care for and returned?!? So, I finish it, but really didn't care for the whole back and forth for no good reason! Ugh.

Sweet sweet story

Totally different from what I usually listen to ~ but I have to say I loved it ~

Great for cleaning days

Fun story for days when you need easy listening. I wasn't prepared for the sex scenes so I dropped it a star. they are excessive, just unexpected when they popped up.

Sorry not sorry.

It is a kind of a comfort book. The story is so slow and very expected to the point. could be a good college student book with its easy read.
I was very committed so finished it. first time thiugh, I had to skip chapters.. if it was a hard copy book i would have left it unread.
