Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read, a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
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?
Review
“Beach Read fans, assemble. Emily Henry is back with another smart, steamy romance….Warning: you will feel all the feels. And probably shed a few tears.”
— The Skimm
“Emily Henry is my newest automatic-buy author, and People We Meet on Vacation is the perfect getaway: a heartfelt, funny, tender escape that you wish could last forever.”
— Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways
“ People We Meet on Vacation is a gorgeous slow-burn romance, full of sexual tension and tantalizing possibility. I fell head over heels for Alex and Poppy, and loved travelling all over the world with them both.”
— Beth O'Leary, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flatshare
“This is a perfect rom com, and I completely adored it. I think Emily Henry might be our generation's answer to Nora Ephron. A witty, warm page turner.”
— Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of GMA book club pick This Time Next Year
“Emily Henry is a STAR! Deeply emotional and starkly funny, People We Meet on Vacation cements Emily Henry as the Queen of Banter. Rom-com fans will swoon over this slow burn friends-to-lovers romance. Poppy and Alex are real and flawed and ultra-lovable, and their Summer Trips will scratch an itch for those of us who’ve missed traveling. A perfect summer read!”
— Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola
“A compulsively readable book full of sparkling wit, dazzling prose and a romance that grabbed me by the heart and wouldn't let me go.”
— Abby Jimenez, USA Today bestselling author of Life’s Too Short
“An absolute delight: swoony, legitimately moving, and packed with witty banter that makes Alex and Poppy jump off the page. We are already waiting impatiently for whatever Emily writes next.”
— Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, USA Today bestselling authors of The Royal We and The Heir Affair
“Henry’s biggest strength is in the sparkling, often laugh-out-loud-funny dialogue, particularly the banter-filled conversations between Poppy and Alex. The end result is a story that pays homage to classic romantic comedies while having a point of view all its own. A warm and winning When Harry Met Sally update that hits all the perfect notes.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Henry’s skills with sensory detail and lovable characters shine through. This is a strong choice for readers looking for a vicarious summer vacation of their own.”
Emily Henry writes stories about love and family for both teens and adults. She studied creative writing at Hope College and the New York Center for Art & Media Studies, and now spends most of her time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the part of Kentucky just beneath it.
原文摘录

“Alex." I reach out for him with both hands, pull him in against me. His arms come around me, and his head bows until he’s a giant question mark, hanging over me. “It's not your job to make me happy, okay? You can't make anyone happy. I’m happy just because you exist, and that’s as much of my happiness as you have control over.” (查看原文)
"I’ve always felt like once someone sees me deep down, that's it. There's something ugly in there, or unlovable, and you're the only person who's ever made me feel like I'm okay.” His hand sweeps gently across my face, and I open my eyes, meet his head-on. “There’s nothing scarier than the chance that, once you realy have all of me, that changes. But I want all of you, so I’m trying to be brave.” (查看原文)

哈哈，读了将近两个月的书！读的过程是很愉悦的，感觉跟着男女主体验各种旅行的惊险快乐。It’s less about the places we go than the people we meet along the way. But most of all, it’s about the ones who stay, who become home.

Emily Henry太厉害了，同意网评说她的书is more than romance。为什么减一分呢，就是男女双方都由于各自幼年的心理创伤，导致对对方的感情压抑在心里多年，挺可惜的。最后终于勇于表达出来了，对于双方的这个情感方面的不坦诚，阅读期间的感受真是痛苦。珍惜有缘人吧。(展开)

前段时间读的书都太沉重，加上反省发现自己几乎从来没读过言情小说，因为从小自我规训，不要浪费时间在“格局小”的书上。这本书确实像推荐得一样，温暖简单，故事有些套路但也还凑合能忍。总归是个不错的调节

这本书太无聊了吧。可能我年纪大了，感觉像偶像剧一样的简单。

瘸子里面拔将军，可以说算北美晋江中还不错的了，比Book Lover好太多，甚至能把女主代入Lily Collins的脸。但个人真的不爱看十年好友变情侣的戏码，情侣可以变成彼此最好的朋友，但最好朋友变成情侣就接受无能，kind of make me feel sick……

爱情故事还行吧，Poppy和上学时候霸凌过她的初恋见面那一小段，倒是挺值得读一读的。
