Premise
[edit]People We Meet on Vacation follows Poppy Wright and Alex Nilsen, two best friends who are opposites in every way. She is a wild child with insatiable wanderlust while he is laidback and would rather stay home with a book. Every summer they come together for a week long vacation; until one trip where everything is ruined and they stop speaking for two years.
While Poppy is living her dream of being a travel writer of a popular magazine, she finds herself stuck and unhappy. She recalled the moments where she was truly happy were when she and Alex were travelling. Attempting to rekindle this lost bond, she contacts him again for one last trip to Palm Springs.
This eventually leads them to uncover their history together as platonic friends, including memories from previous trips and their respective relationships, family struggles, and most especially: what happened to the trip to Croatia two years ago.[1]
