Includes reader's guide.
"When Poppy met Alex, there was no spark, no chemistry, and no reason to think they'd ever talk again. Alex is quiet, studious, and destined for a future in academia. Poppy is a wild child who only came to U of Chicago to escape small-town life. But after sharing a ride home for the summer, the two form a surprising friendship. After all, who better to confide in than someone you could never, ever date? Over the years, Alex and Poppy's lives take them in different directions, but every summer the two find their way back to each other for a magical week long vacation. Until one trip goes awry, and in the fallout, they lose touch. Now, two years later, Poppy's in a rut. Her dream job, her relationships, her life - none of it is making her happy. In fact, the last time she remembers feeling truly happy was on that final, ill-fated Summer Trip. The answer to all her problems is obvious: She needs one last vacation to win back her best friend. As a hilariously disastrous week unfolds and tensions rise, Poppy and Alex are forced to confront what drove them apart - and decide what they're willing to risk for the chance to be together."-- Provided by publisher.

Great pacing and laugh out loud moments submitted by A2AE on July 19, 2021, 7:42pm I loved breezing through this book, the alternating chapters between "This Summer" and summer trips from the dozen previous years helps accelerate the pace as we read to discover the history between this mismatched pair of best friends. I happily stayed up late to joyfully read the happy ending of this hilarious book that had me laughing out loud at the witty dialogue and endearing main characters.

People we meet on vacation submitted by nmrhoads on August 11, 2021, 9:57pm It was cute and easy to read but there is some stuff that’s super cringe.

Fun read submitted by pamhockey25 on August 13, 2021, 10:58am Poppy and Alex strike up an unusual friendship that involves a summer trip that both draws them together and tears them apart. This is a fun, fast read especially fun in the summer when the activity happens.

Preferred Beach Read submitted by bjkoch on August 24, 2021, 3:55pm See title. I didn't feel like Poppy or Alex were particularly likeable.

Perfect fluff read submitted by Bethybeth07 on June 25, 2022, 9:23pm Fun story with a predictable but entertaining plot.

Struggled to finish submitted by zbo919 on July 23, 2022, 7:07am Normally I love books like this, but I struggled to finish this book. Poppy wasn’t an easy character to like, in my opinion. I’m definitely in the minority with not liking this book, but I just don’t get the hype.

Easy Breezy submitted by leah karr on August 19, 2022, 6:57pm Entertaining and fun. It was an easy beach-read

Better than Beach Read! submitted by clk.9123 on August 21, 2022, 5:05pm I really enjoyed this! Fun and easy like Beach Read, but quite a bit better. This is a good pick for entertainment for sure.

A slow burn that was a bit too slow submitted by Alexis_Berry on August 25, 2022, 10:37pm I love the friends-to-lovers troupe, but this story was a slow burn that was a bit too slow. Alex and Poppy are sweet and overall I loved their story, but there was just an over saturation of detail and it just took to long to reach the conclusion.

Perfect beach read submitted by halliejewell on July 16, 2023, 9:03pm Quick, fun read that you can fly though in a day! Not Emily Henry's best, but enjoyable!
