In this episode, we’re diving into the highly anticipated adaptation of The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry— and let’s just say… we have thoughts. 👀

We break down the biggest differences between the beloved romance novel and its movie version, from character chemistry and missing moments to what the film changed (and whether it actually worked). Did the movie capture the heart of Poppy and Alex’s slow-burn friendship-to-love story, or did it miss the magic that made the book so addictive?

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the book or just watched the film, join us as we compare scenes, discuss standout performances, and share what we wish had made it to the screen.

Whether anxiety is a daily struggle or an occasional visitor, this conversation is an honest look at what it means to face it head-on.
