So by the time anything happens (it’s not a spoiler, this is romance, it was bound to happen), it’s fine but it’s not that “holy crap, thank god, I’ve been waiting forever” moment that makes novels like these so wonderful. But this book is such a slow burn and the sexual tension between them is not truly unbearable. Poppy and Alex are best friends, and there’s obviously some sexual and romantic feelings between them. They’re not in a series, or have any true relation other than the author, but it’s difficult truly finding that separation when I’m categorizing them together in my own head. It includes 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne and Henrys second novel 'People We Meet on Vacation. Insider rounded up the best books with similar enemies-to-lovers plots. Where Beach Read is an enemies to lovers trope, Vacation is a friends to lovers trope, which obviously changes the dynamics throughout the entire book. Emily Henry is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, and Beach Read, as well as the forthcoming Happy Place. Emily Henrys 'Beach Read' was one of the most popular books of 2020. But Vacation hit a little different, though not necessarily in a bad way. Both have super similar elements, and both are incredible summer reads. But I will say that People We Meet on Vacation is nowhere near as wonderful as Beach Read. I won’t act like I didn’t enjoy this book, because I truly and thoroughly did.
