They provided a linear timeline of Alex and Poppy’s relationship. The UK blurb took a different approach and helped those who do not do well with the non-linear format of the book. The US is your standard blurb to get you hooked on wanting to read the book. The blurbs on the back of the book are also different. I was not disappointed, and, dare I say, it made me love Poppy all the more. I think me looking into the title differences brought a new perspective to the book that I may not have gotten had I not been looking so closely for the answer. You won’t discover why it’s really called People We Meet on Vacation until you read the ending. Both fit the book very well, so I do not dislike any of the names each publishing house chose for the book. I wondered about that while I was reading the book, to see which title I liked better. Then there were Poppy’s parents, who had me cracking up when they gave Poppy a gift before she set off on one of her vacations with Alex (can’t spoil that one!)Īs I mentioned earlier, the US title and the UK title are different. I’m too much of a homebody to travel like she does, so it’s always great to get lost in a story of someone who lives life differently than I do.
I loved living a life I could never through Poppy. I loved the relationship between Poppy and Alex – how they would banter, how they would support each other, and how they were on vacation. What didn’t I love would be the easier thing to answer. I kept turning pages to see what happened in the past that landed them in the situation they were in now, and where they would end up! In other books, I was not a fan of this style, but in this story I found that it works. But every summer isn’t as carefree and easy as it sounds.Īs the chapters transition in a non-linear format (for example, from present day to a vacation from the past, and back to the present, etc.) we learn about Alex and Poppy’s relationship and why they have not spoken for 2 years. They have been long-distance friends for 10 years, but every summer they make a point to get together for a vacation. This time around we meet Alex and Poppy while they are on vacation. Thank you to NetGalley and the UK publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
