Released this summer, Emily Henry’s sweet and charming novel tells the story of Alex and Poppy who meet at college and travel on one trip together every summer. Inspired by When Harry Met Sally, the novel is a second-chance romance toggling between the present day and the alternating previous vacations that led to the break between Poppy and Alex.
Both Poppy and Alex are immensely engaging and compelling main characters that are both incredibly likeable. Poppy is free-spirited, quirky and outgoing, whilst Alex is a quieter, more introverted character. The duo meet at college and become friends, going on adventures together each summer. In the present, after two years of not talking, Poppy is determined to fix things with Alex and persuades him to go on one last vacation.
Emily Henry’s writing is succulent and addictive, making this a novel that is sweetly charming from start to finish, filled with yearning and tension. Above all though Henry allows space for authenticity, the characters have very real struggles and challenges to undergo – Poppy is at a roadblock in her career. It is this that makes the novel so engaging, as it feels immensely real and immediate. This is the perfect summer read and we can’t recommend it enough.
