You and Me on Vacation

Product Information

Romance books are so personal. What works for one person doesn't always work for another. Usually we are drawn to the stories that remind us of ourselves and our love language. And this is a case where the longer the book went on, the less I could see myself in Poppy.

Poppy and Alex have an unlikely friendship. Poppy is free spirited, quirky and outgoing. Alex is quiet and prefers to stay indoors with a book. We only get the heroine’s POV and at some point it got suffocating. I wanted to see what the hero was thinking because for 80% percent of the book I felt like he only liked her as a sister not a lover, and when the declaration of love happened it seemed like they paid him to say all those things. I did not believe him. Emily Henry is my newest automatic-buy author . . . a heartfelt, funny, tender escape that you wish could last forever' JODI PICOULT

i would die for emily henry, but that wouldn't help me get my hands on this book as soon as possible. But I'm here to talk about MY soulmate. And with every passing day I become more convinced that surely, certainly, without a doubt, that that role in my life is filled by Emily Henry.

Retailers:

another thing was the character development. poppy and alex wouldn’t have been the people that they are right now, without learning from their mistakes with their exes. throughout their friendship, they dated other people and it was never as though they waited around for one another. they play it off as this belief that it would never work out. however, finding out that the reason they hesitated to be together for so long stemmed from their own insecurities made me so sad. they couldn’t deny the love that they had for each other and being with other people helped them realize that they were meant to be. not with anyone else but each other. Anyways, that was a tangent but I ADORED THIS BOOK. I highlighted and underlined so many parts that made me smile and made me giddy. This was also the perfect escapism I needed because I haven’t been on a vacation in over a year thanks to ms. corona so I was living vicariously through them going on all these vacations 😍 it really was a much needed escape from reality.

I always say I'm not good at Rom/Com because I'm not. I can't identify with the formula (as my friend Jayme mentioned) of most Rom/Coms. It's as if two people who might be right for each other, despite how different they might be, have to manufacture over the top drama to keep them apart. We have a lot of that in this story. I did Re-read 10/19/21: Still such an absolute delight. So excited to read books from Emily Henry for the rest of my life.SUMMERS AGO: Poppy and Alex meet. They hate each other, and are pretty confident they'll never speak again. You may believe that I have opened this review of a romance novel with a discussion of soulmates in a way to tie in the content of the book, and in a way, you would be right. But not really. poppy is so relatable, it kinda hurts. really loved reading this through her pov. she gets me ya know? With regards to my y/n, this book didn't provide much in the way of answers which is no surprise but at some points I felt very intuned with the mcs emotions and I didn't feel alone. 🥺♥️ YEARS AGO: They're forced to share a ride home from college and by the end of it a friendship is formed. And a pact: every year, one vacation together.
