people we meet on vacation (emily henry)
Tomorrow we will love each other a little more, and the next day, and the next day. And even on those days when one or both of us is having a hard time, we’ll be here, where we are completely known, completely accepted, by the person whose every side we love wholeheartedly.

i saw that you finished book lovers and pwmov!! that's so exciting!! what are your thoughts? do you have a favorite so far??
I did!! Omg I loved them so much, I can't get over the way this woman writes, like they were literally perfect?? Out of the two my favourite is Book Lovers, I don't think I will ever get over it. It's definitely got my favourite ship out of all of them, and I thought Nora was so relatable in kind of the opposite way that Harriet was. Loved the main characters so much, and the plot is amazing, when you think you know how something's gonna go down suddenly something else happens that is so much better than anything I could have imagined. I generally love the plot twists in her books, I feel like maybe they aren't exactly what I wanted but 100% what I needed to read, if that makes any sense. I also loved pwmov because best friends to lovers is one of my favourite tropes, and I love books that take me around the world. Out of the three that I've read so far though, my favourite remains Happy Place, that book ripped my heart out in the best way possible somehow. I'm gonna start Beach Read later today, so I'll let you know what I think!

Happy Place | Emily Henry
✨I absolutely loved this book. It’s hard to place it in the line up of my favorites. I feel like it falls between 2 and 3. (Nothing can top PWMOV for me.) I adored Wyn and Harriet, I liked analyzing them in this first read through. I loved that this book was more than just about the couple’s relationship but also their relationship and history with their friends and how all of that equates them to this beautiful found family. This one definitely felt different than the rest and I think Emily did a wonderful job and I’m so excited to see where she goes as always. ✨

My Emily Henry Rankings
@brekker-by-brekkerr you asked here if I had a ranking of the Emily Henry books and couples, so after way too long, here's my opinions, along with some really bad explanations. <3 Spoilers ahead!!
Books:
Happy Place. This was the first Emily Henry book I read, and the first book that ever made me cry. Harriet was so relatable, and it was probably my favourite setting out of the four books. The characters were all so interesting, and they had such a great dynamic. I love the found family trope, and she absolutely nailed it.
Book Lovers. I loved the plot so much, and Nora was also so relatable in a different way. I loved how even though she isn't perfect, she doesn't have to change and give up her job to get what she wants. Her relationship with Libby reminded me a lot of me and my sister, which was so nice to read about.
People We Meet On Vacation. I really liked the structure of this book, and I think it made the reveal so much better. I also loved reading about all the places they went to.
Beach Read. I loved this book so much, so the only reason it's ranked in last place is because I somehow loved the other ones even more. The plot felt a little slower, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I only managed to read about 5 minutes a day.
Couples:
These were much easier to rank for some reason.
Nora and Charlie. I just love them so much, I don't even know what to say. I love how they respect each other's choices and make their decisions according to what they want/need, not what the other one wants. I usually really like the quiet, more mature relationships where they know they love each other without needing to shout it from the rooftops.
January and Gus. I though the way they learned to communicate without pushing each other was really sweet, even if it led to some misunderstandings. Enemies to lovers is always great, especially if one if then doesn't even realize they were never actually enemies.
Harriet and Wyn. I was a little annoyed at Wyn for most of the book to be honest, and so frustrated with their miscommunication. That's not to say I didn't like them. I think they were so sweet and had some of my favourite lines.
Poppy and Alex. Again with the terrible communication skills. I get that it's an important trope for the genre and it made sense in this book, but I'm a very impatient person. I did love how well they know and understand each other, but I think I preferred the scenes when they were just friends.
I'm also going to do main characters, because why not:
Nora Stephens.
Harriet Kilpatrick.
January Andrews.
Poppy Wright.
The reasoning here is purely relatability. I can see a bit of myself in all four of them, but some more than others. As I was writing this I realised the ones at the top I find relatable because of more negative things, like my insecurities, or qualities I have that I don't like. I share a lot of qualities with the ones at the bottom, but at the end of the day, I like reading about people who share my struggles and doubts because it's comforting to know I'm not alone. I don't know if this makes any sense, but it was very interesting in my head.
So anyways, these are my opinions. How would you rank them?
