People We Meet on Vacation

Poppy and Alex, seemingly polar opposites, have been the best of friends ever since a fateful car ride years ago. Despite living in different cities—she, a vibrant New Yorker; he, content in their small hometown—they've maintained a cherished tradition: one glorious summer vacation together every year for a decade. Their annual escapes were a constant, a vibrant thread weaving through their lives, until two years ago, when something fractured their bond, leaving them estranged and the tradition broken. Now, Poppy, feeling unfulfilled despite her outwardly successful life, realizes her last true happiness was on that final, ill-fated trip with Alex. Determined to reclaim that joy and mend their rift, she impulsively reaches out, convincing him to embark on one more vacation. As they revisit old haunts and new destinations, Poppy has one week to confront the unspoken truth that has always simmered beneath their perfect friendship, hoping to fix everything and perhaps, finally, confess the deeper feelings that have long gone unacknowledged. What ensues is a poignant and witty journey of rediscovery, second chances, and the messy, beautiful complexities of love.
