Poppy and Alex have nothing in common; she's a free spirit who wants to travel and meet people; he's a homebody who prefers reading. But since college, Poppy and Alex have been best friends who travel together every summer. Until two years ago when everything changed; they haven't spoken since. This summer, feeling detached from her job and life, Poppy has one final chance to make peace with Alex on their last trip together.

PWMOV is a cute friends-to-lovers romance that still has all the Emily Henry magic, excellent character development, captivating writing, and relaxing summer vibes. The book alternates between this summer — after Poppy and Alex stopped talking for two years but are trying to salvage their friendship — and the past 12 summers. In this juxtaposition, the readers can compare how the duo's dynamic changed because of an unknown reason from their last trip. Stylistically, this is my favorite Henry book. But because I'm totally an Alex and dislike traveling (I know, so weird!), it is tough connecting to Poppy, and I was secretly judging her decisions throughout the book.

Regardless, PWMOV is still a fabulous book with gorgeous writing, specifically on Poppy and Alex's trips. For those who love to travel, which I'm assuming is the majority, PWMOV will be a great read during summer vacations!
