It’s fascinating. How so much of love is about who you are with someone.
i really wanted to love this because poppy and alex were so cute and funny. but sadly i personally can’t rate it higher because of the lack of communication being the reason why they went 2 years no contact + 12 years in total of being in love with each other but doing nothing. it was so frustrating when reading and learning more of their background/relationship, and seeing how blatantly the lack of communication made them (and me) suffer.

I adored the different vacation spots and settings we got in this book, how Poppy & Alex got to travel to different locations. How diverse these locations were and truly beautiful these places are! I wish I could go to some of these places myself. The vacations were also important to showing the development of their friendship over the years and how they became friends and eventually lovers in the end of the book.
Poppy was such a free spirit and bubbly character! I loved her thrill of adventure and wanting to see the world. It was such a sharp contrast to Alex's more reserved and organized nature. They were truly two people who nobody would ever think of as friends but they made it work super well. It was an opposites attract situation and a true friends to lovers written beautifully well! The tension was great and the banter between them really was funny and had me laughing out loud at parts.
I also loved the ending of how both of them had to make a compromise if they wanted to give this relationship a chance, how sacrifices had to be made to be with each other if that is what they truly wanted. I loved this book and is one of my favorite friends to lovers books ever!

Alex and Poppy’s story just felt so genuine and sweet and you could really feel the history and friendship and care that went into their relationship. The book spanned over a decade and you really got to watch them grow with each other and understand themselves all the more through it. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OK?!?!
I loved it very very much.
