The book follows Poppy and Alex, two best friends who met in college and have been taking annual summer trips together for a decade. They are opposites in every way: Poppy is a free-spirited travel journalist who craves adventure and new experiences, while Alex is a reserved high school teacher who prefers stability and routine. Despite their differences, they have a deep connection and understand each other better than anyone else.
However, two years ago, something happened on their last trip to Croatia that ruined their friendship and made them stop talking. Poppy misses Alex terribly and decides to reach out to him and invite him to one more vacation, hoping to mend their relationship and maybe confess her true feelings for him.

The author does a great job of creating vivid settings and capturing the essence of each destination, from Vancouver Island to New Orleans to Vail. The book also has a lot of humor, banter, and tension between the main characters, making their chemistry undeniable and their romance realistic.
