Can I just say thank you to Emily Henry and, most importantly, to Netflix for not casting Sofia Carson in this one

we as a society need to get away from the “emotionally cheating on your current partner with the love of your life” trope.

They have chemistry AND they’re funny. A win for the rom com community.

couldn’t be me because if someone looking like tom blyth was my best friend, it would take me just one vacation to fall in love with him

People We Meet on Vacation

I had a great time watching and honestly was wondering how they were going to tackle all the jumping that the book does but I think they did a pretty good job. Canada and NOLA were highlights. Obviously there’s stuff going to be cut to make it flow. Can say that the “this summer” timeline wasn’t…

People We Meet on Vacation

i will give it a like, but it was actually a solid 8/10, this move feels like a cousin to the book, loved poppy’s character being portrayed liked this, emily excelled. the hair pulling at that scene 🥵 alex ate a couple of important moments from the book where missed,but solid

People We Meet on Vacation

It's not a Netflix movie without a gay couple and wedding right... If Poppy isn't the biggest red flag then J don't even know. The story was cool, I personally didn't like the back and forth, wish it was present, then all the past and the present again. It just fell short for me

Anyone who likes romcoms will enjoy this! Beautiful direction, cinematography, lighting, and wardrobe in addition to great performances by the two leads (Emily Bader does much of the heavy lifting, and she dazzles in every moment!) What a shame we couldn’t see this in theaters!

People We Meet on Vacation

giving a love for the sake of this being so well done, even tho this is one of my least fave emily henry books. chemistry between our mcs wasn’t that strong imo they’re just like really good actors independent of each other that i could be invested in their story. idk if poppy 1/

People We Meet on Vacation

Cute, the in the beginning was really good, especially the flash backs, although it felt like a lot was missing and I didn’t really get to know the character as well (needed the book trauma). I wish we spent more time with the current summer and their emotional relationship.

People We Meet on Vacation

The first 15 minutes made me cringe so bad I almost turned it off but then ended up liking it. I did read the book 2 years ago but forgot mostly everything about it

6/10, it was okay… I found myself just waiting for it to finally end, I probably wouldn’t watch it again.
