So last year I read "You and Me On Vacation" (which is the name they published "People We Meet On Vacation" under in more civilised countries) and I loved it. A quirky romanace novel that unlike the ones I usually read, was solely populated by normal mundane humans. Anyway, today the movie adaptation dropped on Netflix and it is just as enjoyable. It isn't exactly the same as the book (besides the title), but when are film adapations ever? They've smooshed some bits together and tweaked a few bits. But overall the plot is essentially the same. And in some ways I think the changes file off any remaining suggestion that it's an Enemies to Lovers story, like the book blurb suggests, cos it really isn't. They're just 2 vastly different sorts of people with seeming very little in common until they end up trapped in a car on a roadtrip and discover they can be really good friends. I also think they've nailed the casting of Poppy and Alex perfectly.
