This book is about a slow-burn romance that grabs you by the heart and holds you tightly. Books like this are hard to find and feel so short even with this huge page-turner because I always feel, I want more but alas I am already at the last page. It took a big part of a day to finish it including food breaks and a nap on the beach but I was not able to stop as with any good story and characters that feel real and worth caring for.
Some people may not like this but as a reader who is not into romance, I still liked it, not just like a romance, it was funny and the women in this story are funny and this comedy doesn't feel forced.
It is about family, friends, relationships, and love. All of this is perfectly placed and beautiful. But slow if I think from a mind of a reader who is used to reading fast-paced romances and action. To them, this book may feel boring, but if you know what responsibility is and how a person cares for his/her family, then you can follow the story, it is a long story spanning twelve years in the life of two friends to lovers the secret feelings towards each other but not telling has its own beauty and pain at the same time. In simple words a journey of strangers to friends to lovers with so much in between to make you tear up at later parts of the book. I think it is better to share your feelings with everyone, especially with your family and then if you are sure about someone who you think is your soul mate.
For me it was BEAUTIFUL.
The only reason I am not giving full points is the parts that were too slow for some readers, otherwise, it is hundred percent recommended.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
From the New York Times, bestselling author of Beach Read comes a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
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?”
