People We Meet on Vacation
ByPublisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story 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?

“Went into it with higher hopes just because i’m such a huge When Harry Met Sally fan and I was super duper excited for a story about two people who find love within their friendship but I don’t know I didn’t really connect to these characters. I did like how authentically they loved one another though and how much it was said once the air was cleared.”

“It is about the different types of people that we read on vacation, but also the different types of versions of each other. We meet in vacation I really enjoy this when you’re kind of had me thinking about over the years people change and we keep meeting the people we know in different versions and Alex and Poppy being best friends and traveling with each other and having fallouts dating other people, but every trip they take. It always leads them to go back with each other like there are twin souls that meet at different parts. Of their lives their careers and I guess I understood the part where you sometimes have goals and if you meet those goals, you then don’t feel like you’re doing anything so so about like finding out who you truly are and meeting yourself again while also meeting the person you love And they’re different versions and I love how they both feel at home with each other because that’s how you should feel with your significant other Home”
