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? Review: Heartwarming Friends To Lovers. - Have you ever come across a book that, the minute you finish reading, you want to go back and read it again? People We Meet On Vacation was that book for me. I have been hearing about this book for a while, and I even got it a couple of years ago on my birthday. One of my best friends and I decided to buddy read this one, and I’m so glad that we did! It’s the perfect book to start my summer reading. People We Meet On Vacation was such a beautifully written book; the characters, the descriptions, the setting, and, of course, the connection between the characters. Every page had me craving more and wishing I didn’t have to study. I fell in love with Alex and Poppy’s story within a few minutes of starting the book. You could tell that what Poppy and Alex had gone beyond friendship; even if they didn’t want to admit. The connection that those shared was so heartwarming and had me smiling. Although, I wish that those would realize and admit their feelings. I loved the way that the story shifted from present summer to the past summers that Alex and Poppy spent together. I loved the way Alex and Poppy joked with each other and the situations they found themselves in. Despite that, they were always there for one another. The last few chapters were my favorites. This story is everything that I love about romance. Friends to Lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and People We Meet On Vacation is on top of that list. Now that I have read the book, I’m even more excited to see the movie. Plus, I’m in the mood to read more summer books. I could keep talking about this book, but I don’t want to give too much away. You’ll have to check out to find out for yourself. Review: A fun romcom with character depth - I know some serious literary writers and readers don’t take Emily Henry very seriously since she’s a romance writer, but on a technical level, her writing is damn good. Here’s a few examples. She uses metaphors well. This one is simple, but very fitting for the character’s personality—“Alex’s shoulders life, like he’s a turtle retracting into his shell.” Other times, we get short but deep character observations that could totally be in a literary novel. “I should’ve guessed what a cautious driver he’d be. Then again, sometimes when you guess about people, you end up very wrong.” There are also so many brilliant bits of humor in this book that Henry uses. There’s a running joke between the two main characters about the terrible, old Honda Aspire they borrow, about how it aspires to have working air conditioning, aspires to live long enough to see the end of human suffering, though it probably won’t live long enough to see the of the Star Wars franchise. Henry’s funny characters are actually funny to read about and it makes the novel a very fun journey. I also think Henry is very smart about how she involves side characters in her books. She knows her audience and she doesn’t waste too much time on supporting characters, so she comes up with clever ways to have minor characters that need to exist for plot logic to add to the tension of the story. For example, the two other people they’re sharing an Uber with are honeymooners in bedazzled visors that say WIFEY and HUBBY who are “so tanned already they look something like Alex’s shoes.” It’s simple, but so effective. A silly detail like the cringey visors tells us exactly who these two strangers are and what kind of people they are in a comical way. It’s a romcom with romcom hijinks, but Henry really does a beautiful job of exploring Millennial ennui and the emotional complexities of travel, with all its highs and lows. She also digs into career satisfaction in a very interesting and wise way. Spark notes; I have a soft spot for romcoms and Emily Henry is the real deal with her craft. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #925 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Contemporary Women Fiction #30 in Romantic Comedy (Books) #78 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 122,984 Reviews | ## Images ![People We Meet on Vacation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vhA44ExpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartwarming Friends To Lovers. *by J***. on June 5, 2026* Have you ever come across a book that, the minute you finish reading, you want to go back and read it again?

I’m talking about my mom. She says she’s too busy, but with a little incentive (saying I’ll wait to watch the movie with her) and a buddy read, I've finally convinced my mother to finish a book in less than a month. Now I’m going to trick her into reading even more! My review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think I might be Alex and Poppy’s child? I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it was lighthearted, witty, sweet, and just what I needed. Was it predictable? Yes, but aren’t all romcoms? That’s what’s so warm and satisfying about them. Alex and Poppy's best-friendship to lovers felt like a slow burn, but otherwise it wouldn’t have felt as real. The author showcases each of the main characters' flaws while also highlighting how complementary they were to one another. The characters were relatable, the setting(s) were fun (I mean, TRAVEL!), amazing banter, great character development, and beautiful, descriptive writing. Definitely When Harry Met Sally vibes. What can I say? I’m a sucker for friends-to-lovers. Mom’s review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (She does voice-to-text, so it’s not as cohesive) It gave me great insight into the characters. Made me like both of them even though such opposites. Very well described personalities, both were sweet and likable!!! I liked the travel ideas. How they did it on a budget and made it fun, and how their friendship survived even though they were very different people, they tolerated their differences, even though they had separate ideas and passions, and maintained their friendship. Also, it was very funny!!!! It made me root for them to get together throughout the story I really liked it!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - People We Meet on Vacation - Beach Read - Book Lovers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/225951392-people-we-meet-on-vacation](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/225951392-people-we-meet-on-vacation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
