Welcome to our very first movie review. Today, we are sitting down to talk about People We Meet on Vacation.

We originally read the Emily Henry book back in episode 22, which honestly feels wild because it has been so long.

Get comfy as we break down the differences between the book and the movie, what worked, what surprised us, and where the adaptation took a few creative detours.

About the Novel:

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?

Summary:

The Storm by Rachel Hawkins is a thriller novel about a cold case murder that resurfaces when a true-crime writer and the accused woman return to a small Alabama town, forcing the innkeeper to confront the past as a new hurricane approaches. The story uses a dual-timeline narrative, alternating between the present and the 1984 murder of a political scion during a hurricane, and explores secrets, small-town gossip, and the destructive nature of both storms and people.

We’re officially back from our break, and we do apologize for the awkwardness. We may have forgotten how to be podcasters. In this episode, we ease back into things, talk about just how many books we somehow managed to read while away (not many), and what we are currently reading. We also take a deep dive into our pick of the week, A Steep And Savage Path.

About The Book:

Irina is about to be married to a dead man. She is the willing village sacrifice for the Wedding of the Dead: a desperate ritual designed to lay the hungry vampire that has been terrorising her Transylvanian village to rest. Irina’s beloved sister’s soul is trapped in the land of the dead. If Irina can retrieve it, she could bring her back – but Irina would need a guide, one who can walk between the living and the dead. Irina strikes up a deal with her new husband – if he agrees to get her safely there and back again, then he can drink her blood as much as he wants. They begin a perilous journey through the afterlife together, in which Irina realises Stefan isn’t the cruel and terrifying monster that she thought. In a land of three-headed beasts, winged creatures and walking corpses, the last thing Irina would have expected was to fall in love. Only, Irina learns that by bringing Stefan to the land of the dead, she has put him in grave danger, and will be faced with an impossible choice. Will they be able to make it out, undead or alive?
