Waaaay better than I expected.  I actually loved this so much, and there was a lot of complexity to think about with these characters.  I liked the juxtaposed times & places.  I think that was a creative way to show growth/change, as well as establishing events, memories, etc.  I liked how Henry would return to certain summer trips over and over again....sprinkling bits and pieces to see how the relationship unfolds at each place.  Overall, I feel like the "People We Meet on Vacation" was specifically about those two people, the main characters, and the different versions of themselves that evolve over time.  That's pretty deep for a "rom com," so I'm here for it.  Speaking of the comedy, this book is absolutely hilarious and the banter is A++.
