On Vacation with You is the bestselling novel by Emily Henry, author of the hit Summer Read . This is a laugh-out-loud, tear-jerking story that pays tribute to classic romantic comedies like Harry Meets Sally .
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a rebellious girl; he wears khakis. She has an insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home reading a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful hitchhiking trip to college many years ago, they've been best friends.
For the most part, Poppy and Alex live far from each other—she in New York, he in his small hometown—but every summer for the past ten years, they've embarked on a delightful week-long vacation together.
Until two years ago... when they messed up. And since then, they haven't spoken to each other.
Poppy has everything she needs, but she feels stuck. And if anyone asks her when the last time she felt truly happy was, she knows it was on that final trip with Alex. So she decides to convince her best friend to go on vacation together one more time—to set the record straight, to make it work. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now Poppy has a week to make things right. And, who knows, maybe even address the big truth that remains hidden in the midst of their seemingly perfect friendship.
Could something else still go wrong?
