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 fear I am obsessed with this book. Like, there is just something about the dynamic in this one that just makes it so cute. Also, classic Emily Henry of some banger lines and also just incredible dialogue

    This one is reminding me of Happy Place PURELY in the sense that I was apprehensive to read it because it didn't always get the most positive reception of all the Emily Henry's, but just means when I've read it, it's so surprisingly good. I may retract this statement further into the book, but it's definitely 4+ stars so far.

    i forgot the joy of starting a new emily henry book. i don't remember the first few pages of happy place or funny story well enough to remember if this is true for all her books, but especially the older ones, the way she begins them is so gorgeous. like, the commentary on something so human, and the little anecdotes from the character. it's such a good way to get the reader to align with the narrator before you're even really introduced to them
