People We Meet on Vacation

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
