This is the first Emily Henry I've read, but I've heard reviews that this one is less beloved as her other two adult contemporary romances. But I absolutely loved this book. I love Alex and Poppy, but especially Alex. Reading this book reminded me of how I'm much more a fan of character-driven books rather than plot-driven ones, and the entire plot of this book just serves as character development for the two protagonists. There is emotional depth in addition to fun vacations. I also loved Henry's wit throughout – little asides such as, “In fact, she hugged me (it felt like being hugged by Beyoncé).” I closed the book and literally said, well, that was delightful.
