People We Meet on Vacation | Bonus Book Review

It’s here! Our first-ever bonus book episode! This month, we chose Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation, and we just had to with the movie releasing in 11 days.

We kick things off with some official and unofficial book world news, including rumored casting for Book Lovers, fan casting for Happy Place, and Abby Jimenez’s narrator hints that had us SO ready for the official announcement.

Then we break down Alex and Poppy's story. From the friends-to-lovers trope, to what makes a good slow burn, to *the balcony scene*, to third-act break-ups...we cover it ALL.

We both adore Emily Henry's books. They’re not without flaws, but they’re uniquely relatable, and she absolutely nails yearning. People We Meet on Vacation is no exception.

Whether you just finished the book for the first time, you’re on your fifth re-read, or you’re getting ready for the movie release, this episode is for you.
