Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
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?

“My favorite Emily Henry’s novel so far ! Poppy and Alex are so well-written without being stereotyped. Poppy is a bit quirky but she’s a strong and confident woman and Alex is respectful, funny in his own way and a bit strange. David was a great recurring character but I regret not seeing as much as Rachel, (Poppy’s best friend) ! The chemistry between Alex and Poppy is so hot ! It’s a great friends to lovers / built-up tension romance and this story has now a special place in my heart ✨”Likable charactersEasy to readFast-pacedImmersive settingRomantic

“Me ha recordado la típica película romántica de un domingo por la tarde. Bastante predecible. Te genera mucho hype en los primeros capítulos y a mí personalmente me ha decepcionado un poco. Aún así es una lectura fácil y rápida.”Reviewed in:Reading is hot: romance

“Es mi primera vez leyendo a Emily Henry y me he enamorado de la forma que tiene de escribir, pero la historia se me ha hecho bola en algunas partes. Súper adictivo, un libro de 10 para cerrar el verano, los personajes (sobre todo Alex ❤️🩹) me han gustado mucho pero Poppy me ponía muy nerviosa en algunas ocasiones. Eso sí, el libro tiene muchísimas reflexiones y, lo que digo, Emily Henry escribe de una manera preciosa y estoy deseando leer más de ella!!”Reviewed in:Reading is hot: romance

“As a travel journalist with dreams of moving to New York City, this book felt like reading the romanticized version of the life I’ve always hoped to live. I couldn’t get enough of the tension between Poppy and Alex! This book quickly made its way to the top of my list of favorites.”Likable charactersBeautifully writtenAddictiveSuspensefulImmersive settingFeel goodRomantic
