![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Two years after their fallout Poppy finds herself reaching out to him. ![]() Things change after their trip Croatia (i wonder what could have possibly happened…) and they are no longer in touch. They met at university and ever since then they spend their summer holidays together, travelling around America and even venturing abroad. He is more of a quiet composed kind of guy. Poppy’s bbf is Alex, who is very much her polar opposite. The story is narrated by Poppy (who i could not help but compare to another romcom poppy) who is the classic relatable 30ish female lead: she is short, bubbly, quirky, doesn’t like sports. It was cute, silly, a tad cheesy, and a bit too clichèd for my taste (i get it, the romcom is a genre that thrives on tropes but there are limits: opposites attract, will they won’t they, female leads falls and has to be carried by the male lead, one of them is sick so the other has to play ‘nurse’, the list goes on). Was People We Meet on Vacation particularly original? No. I actually ended up enjoying this more as I found it to be both funnier and a lot less angsty than Beach Read. Perhaps I should not have requested an arc for People We Meet on Vacation as I was one of the few people who last was not particularly enamoured by Beach Read (i know, i know, the audacity). ![]()
