Welcome back to My Sister’s TBR, where today we’re diving deep into People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry! AKA the story that had us staring at the wall and emotionally buffering for a minute.

We’re unpacking Poppy + Alex (golden retriever vs black cat vibes), the friendship-to-lovers slow burn, the “no but what if…” tension, and all the moments that live rent-free in our brains. And yes: we’re comparing page vs screen, what the adaptation nailed, what we missed, and why the movie still managed to capture that same giddy-kicking-our-feet feeling.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: This episode is basically a confetti cannon of spoilers, so if you haven’t read/watched yet, pause us, go do that, and come back emotionally prepared (or as close as humanly possible).

What we get into:

* Book vs movie vibe check: how faithful it felt and why it still worked

* Changes we noticed: missing scenes we would’ve paid money to see (hello, Tinder profile moment), plus some “why did they change that?” choices

* The romance moments: what hit harder in the book vs what hit harder on screen (and yes… we discuss the steamy scene)

* Side characters + Sarah discourse: what we lost, what we gained, and why certain choices made us tilt our heads like a confused librarian

* Final verdict: which one we preferred… and why it’s not as simple as “book always wins”

So grab your coffee, wine, or emotional support beverage of choice and come giggle, swoon, and mildly spiral with us.
