It's February and even here in the Sunny Southwest, it's a bit chilly and gray. What could be better for that than a super fun vacation read?! (Other than an actual vacation, obviously.) This month's book club pick is Emily Henry's People We Meet on Vacation and it was great! Poppy and Alex have been best friends since college, and they've built a tradition of going on summer trips. Some of those trips have been on a shoestring budget and some have been quite luxurious, but they've all been memorable and fun until the last one when something terrible happened and they didn't speak for nearly two years.
Henry makes us wait a really long time before revealing what happened, but the tension is well-woven throughout the story without being over the top. Poppy and Alex are both wonderfully drawn characters, and they are joined by a darling crew of people they meet along the way. Poppy is funny and sarcastic while Alex is tightly controlled but comes loose with Poppy's prodding.
I really liked this book. It was cute. It was fun. It got me through a few dreary winter days dreaming about how it is time to plan a Girls' Trip. This book would be great for reading by the pool or at the beach this summer, but there is really no need to wait. I really think you're going to like it no matter where you read it.
