The longing, the angst, the sweetness of their relationship – really everything in this book was perfect. I really don’t know how to put into words how much I loved this book. Told from Poppy’s point of view, the book alternates between the current summer trip and trips of summer past. People We Meet on Vacation is the story of how the lives of Poppy and Alex have always been intertwined. Will they be able to mend their friendship? Poppy misses Alex and decides to see if he’s up for another summer trip. That is until two years ago when their friendship started to fall apart. In between relationships and break ups, Poppy and Alex have always made time for their Summer Trip.
But now that Poppy works for a travel magazine – the options for travel are limitless. They didn’t always stay at fancy or luxurious places. A trip that they’ve been taking since after they met in college. But they understand each other and are the best of friends (strictly platonic).Īn annual tradition for them is to take The Summer Trip. She’s quirky and sarcastic, he’s shy and a bit on the quiet side. Popply and Alex have been constants in each others lives since they first met at college. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together–lay everything on the table, make it all right. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. 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. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. She has insatiable wanderlust he prefers to stay home with a book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.
