Every year, the two best friends - who are just friends! They promise! - go away together to disconnect from the world, reconnect with each other, and strengthen their bond as friends. And, even when they live in different states, have different partners, and experience the unpredictable weirdness of life, they have one constant: their yearly trip together. They are the ultimate human balance, and, despite Alex’s straitlaced ways and Poppy’s fun-loving attitude, they’re always there for each other. We’ve got slow burns and almost moments - this novel has got it all and is all the better for it.Īlex and Poppy have been friends since college. In Henry’s new novel, People We Meet on Vacation, we’ve got friends-to-lovers. And, if you are indeed a fan of romance-novel tropes (much like me), then you’ve come to the right place. Henry has made a name for herself in taking typical romance-novel tropes and adding modern twists. It was aptly titled Beach Read and depicted an opposites-attract tale of two vastly different writers who, while living next to each other in their respective beach houses and trying to beat writer’s block, find they have more in common than they think. Last year, New York Times best-selling author Emily Henry delivered perhaps one of the most devourable beach reads in recent memory.
