An Emily Henry adaptation has gone into production and we have to admit, we’re happy. Like really happy about this. People We Meet On Vacation, is one of our favorite Emily Henry books and it’s being brought to life. That’s exciting for us.
What makes it even more exciting is the casting. Tom Blyth and Emily Bader are set to star in the adaptation which is coming from 3000 Pictures and Netflix.
If you aren’t familiar with People We Meet On Vacation, it’s about, “Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?”
Henry is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story, Happy Place, Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read. Several of her books have been optioned for on the silver screen.
