About this audiobook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read comes a sparkling novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. 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?

I didn’t enjoy this book it was very hard for me to follow along and keep up with because it kept going from the past to the present, plus it’s a storyline that I’ve read a thousand times. It’s not worth 15$ in my opinion I’d just get the ebook if you want to give it a shot.

I genuinely love this book. I've been on an audiobook binge and the story has me gripped. I love Alex and Poppy. I've been listening more than once. The narrator is really good. It makes me want to listen to more audiobooks from this author. The author does a good job of interweaving the past and present to tell the story.

Hi, I bought the audio book but it only purchased the sample? Once I get passed the sample it's telling me to spend another 15 dollars...
