About the book
Poppy Wright and Alex Nilsen are lifelong best friends who differ in every meaningful way. Poppy is a spontaneous travel writer living in New York City, while Alex is a reserved, routine-oriented teacher in their small Ohio hometown. Despite their personality clash, they spent a decade taking one summer trip together every year until a falling out in Croatia led to two years of silence. Seeking to fix her lingering unhappiness, Poppy convinces Alex to take one final budget-friendly vacation to Palm Springs to repair their fractured bond.
Readers who enjoy character-driven stories about the transition from friendship to romance will find this narrative focuses on the internal struggle between comfort and risk. It appeals to people who want to see how shared history and inside jokes shape adult identities. After finishing the book, readers understand the difficulty of maintaining a platonic connection when romantic feelings overlap and how honesty about personal needs can salvage a relationship. It offers a look at how traveling allows people to step outside their daily roles to see one another clearly.
