Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.

Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
 
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.
 
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
 
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

I regret this choice. Such a one-dimensional, lackluster rom com that I neither laughed at nor found romantic. Would not recommend.

I would have loved this book if I were a 12 year old girl. So predictable. So boring. So uneventful. I kept hoping something interesting would happen but it didn't. I have started a list of authors never to read again. Emily Henry is the first entry on my list.

Loved it! Quick read. I recommended it to a friend and she loved it too! Hallmark vibes with a little spice.

My first Emily Henry book and it hooked me. Poppy is my favorite lead character in all of the Emily Henry books!

Predictable but cute because elements of it were relatable. The story moved along and never really dragged and came together nicely in the end. Good, casual, listen

I have really enjoyed reading Emily Henry and this is my favorite so far. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and I booed. These were likable characters with ordinary character flaws and it was fun following their journey.

This book was so disappointing. So predictable, and the heroine was whining and unlikable the entire time. I’d like my purchase credit (and time) back, please.

Her stomach is in her heart. Her stomach is a heavy wall. Her stomach is a flutter. Just what is it with this woman’s stomach? I was bored on their vacation so skipped to the last chapter. No surprise there.

Not great but I don’t regret it! Cute, cheesy, and a good escape when the world is on fire.

It took a minute to adjust to the narration. She also narrated The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. Once I was able to move past it, I enjoyed the book. Turned out exactly as I predicted but sometimes you need a beautiful bow at the end.

This book really exceeded my expectations. I guess I expected a typical rom com story, but was pleasantly surprised by how multifaceted the story actually became.

I’m a fan of Emily Henry! This is my second book of hers and I just loooove her romances. I love how she writes the men characters, the women characters are cool too but she really makes me fall in love with these men and I think men are trash! Can’t wait to read her other books.

A really great book we all have flaws and doubts and this book really personalizes those doubts about ourselves and the ones we love.

I’ll give it a 3.5 because it was cute in the end but it was a bit frustrating too.

I truly enjoyed this book, although it also felt like most rom coms. It doesn’t change the fact that I would read it again for the first time if I could.

I love this book! Gets better with every additional time I listen to it as the characters have so many layers. Narrator is gifted - brings the words to life.

I contemplated abandoning this book many times because it was basically about nothing. It didn’t get interesting until the last 90 minutes.
