People We Meet On Vacation

People We Meet on Vacation is a novel by Emily Henry about Poppy and Alex, best friends who have been taking an annual summer vacation for a decade, until a trip to Croatia two years ago shattered their friendship. Now, in their early thirties and feeling stuck, Poppy reaches out to Alex, and they agree to one last vacation in Palm Springs to mend their bond and figure out what went wrong. The story is told through dual timelines, alternating between their present-day trip and flashbacks to their past summers, exploring their contrasting personalities and the slow-burn, friends-to-lovers dynamic that leads them to confront their unspoken romantic feelings.
