“I’m on vacation. Vacations always end. It’s the very fact that it’s finite that makes traveling special. You could move to any one of those destinations you loved in small doses, and it wouldn’t be the spellbinding, life-altering seven days you spend there as a guest, letting a place into your heart fully, letting it change you.” - The People We Meet On Vacation, Emily Henry.
Emily Henry is an automatic “add to cart” author for me. But, out of all her fantastic books, this is my favorite.
The banter between the main characters is next level. It’s some of the wittiest I’ve read and I was grinning the whole time. For me, their banter is the standout feature of this book. It’s why this was a top three read for me last year.
Readers: if you love sharp dialogue and romance with substance, this is your next read. If I could only pick one Emily Henry book to recommend to those new to her catalogue, this would be it.
Henry’s books are always adorable stories that I want to read in two days or less - and this one is no different - but “The People We Meet On Vacation” is also a beautiful commentary on friendship, the passing of time, and the impact of place in our lives.
