People We Meet on Vacation
by Emily Henry
In Emily Henry’s second novel, we follow the boom, bust and hopeful boom again of the relationship between Alex and Poppy, two very different friends, as they embark on a series of ten annual trips around the world. Alex is a homebody who happily stayed behind in their hometown; Poppy is a world traveller who can’t seem to settle down. Despite their difference, they’ve been close for years—until one slip ruins everything. Or does it?
A satisfying friends-t0-lovers romance book with shades of One Day and When Harry Met Sally. The Netflix adaptation was released in early 2026, to rather more mixed reviews than the original, very popular book.
