Poppy Wright met Alex Nilsen 12 years ago on the first day of college orientation, and they never got along—until a road trip from Chicago back to their neighboring Ohio towns, which sparked a deep friendship and a tradition of taking a yearly summer vacation together. But Poppy and Alex haven’t spoken much since a disastrous trip two summers ago. When Poppy realizes that what she wants most in the world is to have Alex back in her life, she arranges a shoestring-budget vacation to Palm Springs that she hopes will fix everything.
The book is full of flashbacks to previous summer vacations, which enables the reader to delve into the relationship between Poppy and Alex in a way more interesting and intimate than I initially expected. People We Meet on Vacation met my expectations as a perfect vacation read—only ever so slightly steamy—with loads of engaging banter between the main characters to keep you entertained. So, if you are looking for a break from broody romances where the leads only seem to look at each other longingly, this will be a great switch up!
