You and Me on Vacation

Product Information

I don’t want to give any spoilers but I can only say one thing. There’s a part at the last third: Poppy gives a powerful and bold speech at the bar: the speech made me cried for at least three hours! My husband finally lost control and put duct tapes to my mouth to make me shut up. I think I’m also suffering from dried eye syndrome. I may have dropped at least five gallons of tears and I think I’m out of tears for a long time! But that emotional speech and entire book made my entire year! i would die for emily henry, but that wouldn't help me get my hands on this book as soon as possible. I loved Poppy and I fully understood her and I was rooting for her and Alex throughout the book after a couple of chapters. I loved their relationship with how Poppy brings Alex out of his shell and I love her sense of humour! I liked how as a reader we almost had to work for the HEA, it didn’t come easily and it made sense for the characters wholeheartedly. There were a few of my favourite tropes sprinkled in throughout but I don’t want to give away any spoilers! It also features unrequited love to some degree and that has been an element in romance books that I have been enjoying recently and it was done really well in this one. I’m so so happy you read one of my favorite romances! I’m not usually the biggest fan of friends to lovers, but when it’s told well, I LOVE it. I’ m so glad you loved it as much as I did x Quite frankly, I was in denial about the fact that this book wasn’t working for me. Especially since Emily Henry has worked for me. Ridiculously well, I might add.

YEARS AGO: Alex discovers his fear of flying on the way to Vancouver. Poppy holds his hand the whole way. I know I always say this but I am not sure what else I can say without giving too much away. What I will say is that I both laughed and cried my way through it. There were also times where I wanted to reach in and either give them both a big hug or a frustrating talking to. Haha.In the end, these two people deserve all the misery they they create for themselves. The journey was enjoyable to a certain extent but I can only take such a journey a few times a year. So 3.5 stars rounded to a Rom/Com 4 stars.

And when i tell you i was living vicariously through Alex and Poppy 😉🚣‍♀️. I felt like i was there with them visiting these beautiful places. ((Lowkey jealous of them tbh 💅🏽 )) I get that Poppy and Alex were on vacation, the noun is in the damn title and it’s essential to the story. It was too little, too late and not enough to save this book for me by that point. There was so much of that that could’ve been sprinkled throughout the story and I don’t get why that wasn’t done. I wish I could bottle this moment and wear it as a perfume. It would always be with me. Everywhere I went, he’d be there too, and so I’d always feel like myself.” Emily Henry is my newest automatic-buy author . . . the perfect getaway: a heartfelt, funny, tender escape that you wish could last forever Jodi Picoult

My favorite super-specific subgenre of all time is magical realism where I can really believe that the magic might just exist in our dumb old boring world, and she is the master of that. Plus she includes lovely romances and incredible banter and the best ever friendships and a million other good and perfect things. I’m million times thankful to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this fantastic reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions. But at least they should pitch those chapters to travel agencies though, it can make cute brochures. gahhhh. i would die to have a connection/bond with someone as cute, wholesome, hilarious, and passionate as poppy and alex have with each other. better yet, just give me alex. hes what i really want. lol. Where this story fell a bit short is towards the end. I started to find Poppy's antics too over-the-top. Often, instead of just saying what she's feeling, she'll go and do crazy things to avoid talking. She starts coming across as needy and high-maintenance, sending mixed signals and jerking Alex around. And poor Alex just had to take it.
