Apply lip gloss. Text your almost lover. We are going on vacation.

This week on Softcover Podcast, we are boarding a one way flight to friends to lovers territory with The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry.

In a plot twist worthy of a beach read cinematic universe, Christal read the book while Rachel watched the movie. Yes. We split custody of Poppy and Alex. Someone call HR.

We get into:
•Whether creative license added sparkle or just rearranged the itinerary

• How the undeniable Emily Henry magic still shimmers on the big screen

• Why friends to lovers is the ultimate slow burn vacation romance

• And how sometimes you forget to tell your literal best friend about your childhood hobbies until it is almost too late

There is yearning. There is tension. There are glances that deserve their own frequent flyer miles. We discuss trips, almost confessions, and the delicate art of pretending you are just friends while emotionally slow dancing for twelve summers.

If you love Emily Henry books, book to movie adaptations, friends to lovers romance, and bestie banter with a side of chaos, consider this your boarding call.
