Poppy and Alex have been best friends forever even though she's a wild child full of wanderlust and he's an introverted bookworm. Although she lives in New York City and he still lives in their hometown, every year they take a week-long vacation together. Until two years ago, when their trip ended in a falling out. Now Poppy convinces Alex to take one final vacation with her in an attempt to fix their relationship ... and maybe even fall in love.

Emily Henry's latest release has been hailed as the summer's best beach read, so I decided to pick up a copy. Henry is a good writer, and I enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation despite my general lack of enthusiasm for romances. The "will they/won't they" aspect carries the novel forward and I loved seeing Poppy and Alex's relationship. However, the stunning lack of communication between the characters really started to grate on me by the end of the book.
