Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world. Except this year, they are lying through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago. And they still haven't told anyone. But the cottage is for sale so this is the last time they'll all be here together. They can't bear to break their best friends' hearts so they'll fake it for one more week. But how can you pretend to be in love - and get away with it - in front of the people who know you best?

Reviewed by NeleFelt seen by the story about her wanting to make her parents proud and not admitting that she hates her job Love that this is a lot about friendship, too Also liked the notion of having to let other people get close without it beating a burden for them
Reviewed by JennyHabe bislang nur "People we meet on vacation" von ihr gelesen und irgendwie das gleiche Level an Humor erwartet. Ohne diese laugh-out-loud Momente war es mir persönlich einfach deutlich zu kitschig. Trotzdem teils nette Urlaubsfeelings und bin gespannt auf die Verfilmung.
Reviewed by MelAuch wenn das Grundgerüst für mich nicht ganz einleuchtend war, mochte ich den Stil, die beiden Zeitstränge der Erzählung und die Darstellung freundschaftlicher und romantischer Liebe. Dass beides auf Distanz viel Arbeit bedeutet, dass frühere Erfahrungen diese Beziehungen prägen und dass Streiten erst gelernt werden muss. Das perfekte Sommerbuch zum Versinken - wenn Romance, dann Emily Henry!
Reviewed by SofiaEmily Henry überzeugt mich einfach immer wieder mit ihren Geschichten und Charakteren. Ich liebe es einfach, dass man das Gefühl hat, es hier mit richtigen Erwachsenen zu tun zu haben, wo eine Trennung nicht auf meinem mini Missverständnis beruht. Tolle Romance, lustige Dialoge, geniale Second Chance!
