No one expected Alex and Poppy to be friends, let alone best friends. "People We Meet on Vacation" by Emily Henry.Įmily Henry's second novel, "People We Meet On Vacation," is just as delightful as its predecessor, swapping the enemies-to-lovers trope for friends-to-lovers. Drop a comment telling me which one of those two is better.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. Maybe I’ll get around to reading Beach Read and/or The People You Meet on Vacation at some point after this. Overall, I enjoyed Happy Place alright, but I still prefer Book Lovers much more. I do feel like the one bed trope wasn’t utilized to its fullest potential. These pages are chocked full of pining and emotional trauma, so it’s a whole dang adventure. It’s just a few days, right? But, there are a lot of layers to this story and secrets floating around, so it’s a complex story. Oh, and their friends decided that they needed the only room with one bed. She and Wyn made a whole bunch of excuses why he wouldn’t be there, so she’s shocked to find he’s already at the cottage.


Harriet makes the trip to her friend’s dad’s cottage in Maine, aka their happy place, like they do every year.

Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since college, except for the part where they broke up months ago and never told anyone. Happy Place is a mash-up of the classic second chance and only one bed tropes. I was among the lucky ones who got a coveted e-ARC approval, so now you get to read my thoughts. It is all over the place with early reviews, NetGalley rejections, TBR lists, and any other kind of post you could think of. If there’s one book that the collective internet has been anticipating for 2023, it’s Emily Henry‘s Happy Place.
