NOW A NETFLIX FILM! • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
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 wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.

Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.

Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.

Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

I love this book! I have laughed out loud and cried while reading this book and will most likely re-listen and feel all the emotions again.

Such a fantastic book

Very slow moving, predictable, and anti-climactic. Poppy is an unsatisfied, spoiled millennial and Alex is so bland that it's cringy. Their banter feels like it's straight out of a Hallmark/Lifetime movie. There are a few good laughs, interesting people-watching, and plenty of sexual tension. But overall, I'm really not sure how this was a New York Times Bestseller.

Mediocre Love Story

Loved these characters!

This author is very talented and I was so impressed with how she outlined and organized this book and how well she got the reader to understand the inner going’s on of her two main characters. Alex was extremely likable and I think I was falling in love with him right along with Poppy. If you are NOT living your own perfect love story, be prepared to get that part of you all stirred up. I feel like I lived the first part of this book but never the resolution in my own life. This is a book that makes you think about old flames and what could have been. This book might even move you to reach out to them!

This is one of the very best performances of an audiobook I have ever heard. The narrator does a great job with the guys voice (really keeps you in the moment!) and she truly is an actress - she is excellent with the really emotive scenes. I am SO glad I chose to do the audio version of this versus physical reading, I would have missed so much of the humor and soul of it had I not had the narrators presentation.

I think you should listen to it! I’m off to check out the authors other offerings now.

Engaging love story - performance is perfection

I was at first only going to give this 4 stars but then after reading another book (another in the same genre at that) I realized how much I really loved this book. I did enjoy Beach Read more but this is still great!!!

Loved it!
