Now, however, my opinion has swayed.
In the case of some of my favorite books, I have wished that Netflix never bothered.
As charming as Poppy and Alex’s story is, it could easily turn out poorly on screen.

Without Henry’s writing,People We Meet on Vacationcould be another substanceless romcom.
Tom Blyth also appeared inBenediction(2021) andScott and Sid(2021).
Blyth pulled this off spectacularly, bringing a romantic tenderness to Snow that added depth to theHunger Gamescharacter.

Blyth’sPeople We Meet on Vacationcharacter is also easy to like without that blaring problem of being a monster.
Of course, this isn’t to say Alex lacks depth.
People We Meet on Vacation is a film adaptation centered on the enduring friendship between two contrasting personalities, Alex and Poppy. Despite their differences, they maintain a strong bond through a shared annual vacation over several years, navigating life’s complexities and their evolving relationship.
