1: People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry - A 5% attraction is better than nothing.

Update: 2024-08-08

Description

”She's always talking about him slouching. I'm sorry, I do not find that attractive. Be assertive!”

This week, we read and reviewed People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry.

Abby joins me on this episode to discuss:

Why the book was just too long…360 pages for a romance?

Why the climax was quite anti-climatic

Why this was the light and fun summer read that we needed.

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you planning your next summer vaycay.

Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast:

DRINK - Piña Colada,

TV SHOW - One Day, Dawson’s Creek (Joey and Pacey)

BOOK - Beach Read, The People We Keep

MOVIE - Palm Springs, Definitely, Maybe

Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book. We look forward to hearing from you!
