Contemporary romance • best friends-to-lovers • second chance vibes • dual timeline feel (then vs now) • travel romance • one last trip • “we ruined everything” fallout • warm, hazy afterglow

Perfect for readers of:

  • Best friends who are basically soulmates… and everyone knows it but them
  • Vacation romances with travel snapshots, inside jokes, and slow-burn longing
  • “We stopped talking two years ago” second-chance tension
  • Emily Henry’s signature blend of laugh-out-loud banter + emotional gut-punch

Spice: 3/5

Moderately steamy, romance-forward with strong emotional payoff.

The vibe

Poppy and Alex couldn’t be more different. She’s a wild child with insatiable wanderlust; he wears khakis and would rather stay home with a book. And yet, ever since a fateful car share home from college, they’ve been best friends. Most of the year they live far apart—Poppy in New York City, Alex in their small hometown—but every summer for a decade, they take one perfect week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has the life she’s supposed to want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows instantly: that final, ill-fated trip with Alex. So she does the only thing that makes sense—she asks him to take one more vacation with her, to lay everything on the table and fix what broke. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now Poppy has one week to make it right… if she can face the one big truth that’s always been quietly standing between them.
