NOW A NETFLIX FILM! β€’ From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story 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 apartβ€”she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometownβ€”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 togetherβ€”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?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critics praise Henry's natural, witty dialogue and lovable, relatable characters. The Associated Press commends the banter as so sharp it would make Shonda Rhimes applaud, while The Skimm notes it’s a smart, steamy romance that will make you feel all the feels. The Wall Street Journal highlights its cleverness and humour, and Real Simple calls it a delightful and perfect poolside read. Acclaimed author Jodi Picoult calls Henry an automatic-buy and describes the book as a heartfelt, funny, tender escape.
