I loved it! I really enjoyed the style of alternating between the current summer and previous trips. I liked how it was a romance but wasn’t at the same time. I appreciate the details connected to the travel trips, how well it was written in the humor within
I think I would say this is my favorite of the three Emily Henry novels. I was hooked on the relationship between Poppy and Alex from the first chapter, and I really loved how you get glimpses of who they are by living through their past vacations. The alternation between past and present created this eagerness to both uncover more about their relationship, while also wanting to see how the present continued to unfold. Having those two working in tandem made it hard to put down.
Poppy & Alex met in college without knowing they were from the same hometown. They are total opposites, but they form a lasting friendship through texts and emails and once a year they take one vacation together, until one drunken mistake on vacation ruins it all. No communication for 2 years. Until Poppy decides to take a chance and convinces Alex to go on one more vacation in the hopes of putting things right.
I felt much of this story was repetitive. Finding out what happened on that ill fated vacation was a total let down. By the end I was feeling “let’s just get this over”
