Blurb:
TWO FRIENDS
TEN SUMMER TRIPS
THEIR LAST CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE
12 SUMMERS AGO: Poppy and Alex meet. They hate each other, and are
pretty confident they'll never speak again.
11 SUMMERS 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.
10 SUMMERS AGO: Alex discovers his fear of flying on the way to
Vancouver.
Poppy holds his hand the whole way.
7 SUMMERS AGO: They get far too drunk and narrowly avoid getting
matching tattoos in New Orleans.
2 SUMMERS AGO: It all goes wrong.
THIS SUMMER: Poppy asks Alex to join her on one last trip. A trip
that will determine the rest of their lives.
You and Me on Vacation is a love story for fans of When Harry Met
Sally and One Day. Get ready to travel the world, snort with
laughter and - most of all - lose your heart to Poppy and Alex.
**Spoiler-Free Review**
I was sent a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an
honest review.
Although COVID is stopping us from travelling right now, I was so glad
I was able to live vicariously through this book. The entire book was so
wonderfully heart-warming. If you're a fan of friends-to-lovers romance
that includes hilarious banter and travelling, then you're going to love
this book. I absolutely adored Emily Henry's Beach Read when I read it
last year, but I think this book truly surpasses it.
Emily Henry is fantastic at writing realistic characters. Poppy and
Alex's friendship is one of the best I've ever read. I'm usually not a
huge fan of friends-to-lovers but this book has completely won me over.
I love the way their entire relationship is told over the course of
several years and vacations; even though every time we met them, they
were in different places in their lives, it was so easy to see how much
they care about each other.
This book had everything I wanted: friends-to-lovers, hate-to-love, one
bed, hilarious banter, slow burn. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys
romance novels.
