La comedia romántica para este verano, por la autora de La novela del verano. Diez viajes, dos amigos. ¿Una última oportunidad para el amor? Poppy y Alex. Alex y Poppy. No tienen nada en común: ella lleva vestidos estampados; él, pantalones de pinza. Ella es un espíritu aventurero; él prefiere quedarse en casa leyendo. Y, a pesar de todo, son mejores amigos. Durante la mayor parte del año viven separados --ella en Nueva York, él en su pequeño pueblo--, pero cada verano, desde hace ya una década, se toman una semana de vacaciones juntos. Hasta hace dos años, cuando todo cambió. Ahora Poppy tiene todo lo que siempre había soñado, pero está atrapada en la rutina. Cuando alguien le pregunta cuándo fue feliz por última vez, sabe, sin ninguna duda, que fue en ese último y fatídico viaje con Alex. Por eso decide convencer a su mejor amigo para viajar juntos una vez más. Tienen una semana para arreglarlo todo, ¿qué puede salir mal? PREMIO GOODREADS A LA MEJOR COMEDIA ROMÁNTICA BESTSELLER Y FENÓMENO MUNDIAL DE TIKTOK ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. A sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations. Poppy and Alex. 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?

Beach Read
Same author's summer-set banter and opposites-attract pull, but built on enemies-to-lovers and heavier grief, with a bit more heat.
Funny Story
Same author's warm, witty voice with forced-proximity roommates and slow-burn banter, though it's a bit spicier and set in one lakeside town instead of ten trips.
Fallen Angel
Another opposites-attract slow burn built on forced cohabitation, but Regency-set, moodier, and noticeably steamier than a breezy vacation comedy.
Anything but sweet
Same opposites-attract, stuck-together banter energy, just swapped for small-town Texas with a grumpier hero, more heat and grief in the backstory.
Truly sweet
Long-simmering friends-to-lovers pining like Poppy and Alex, with small-town warmth, a kid in the mix, and steamier scenes.
Dark Desires after Dusk
Keeps the opposites-attract road-trip proximity and slow burn, but paranormal, violent, and far more explicit.
