Now that it’s July, it’s official: We have entered beach read season. It’s the perfect time to pick up a light, summery book and let yourself get lost in the story—whether you’re actually reading on the beach or just pretending you are while curled up at home.

And what better beach read is there than one written by the queen of beach reads, Ms. Emily Henry?

Don’t believe me? She literally has a book called Beach Read. But that’s not the one I want to talk about today. Because personally, one of her best summery books in my opinion is actually People We Meet On Vacation, a novel about two longtime best friends Poppy and Alex who live far apart but go on vacation with one another every summer—that is, until two years before our fateful story begins. They haven’t spoken since, but Poppy believes one more vacation together could fix everything, and miraculously, Alex agrees to go along with it.

Friends to lovers? Lots of travel? What more could you need? Well, if you need more convincing, The People We Meet On Vacation is also being adapted into a Netflix movie starring Emily Bader (from My Lady Jane) and Tom Blyth (from The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes).

This rom com will keep you turning the pages with its electric prose and the fun banter between characters. Here are the 15 best quotes from ‘People We Meet On Vacation’ by Emily Henry:

1.

“I’m on vacation. Vacations always end. It’s the very fact that it’s finite that makes traveling special. You could move to any one of those destinations you loved in small doses, and it wouldn’t be the spellbinding, life-altering seven days you spend there as a guest, letting a place into your heart fully, letting it change you.”

2.

“It hurts to want it all, so many things that can’t coexist within the same life.”

3.

“I wish I could bottle this moment and wear it as a perfume. It would always be with me. Everywhere I went, he’d be there too, and so I’d always feel like myself.”

4.

“I’ve always felt like once someone sees me deep down, that’s it. There’s something ugly in there, or unlovable, and you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel like I’m okay.”

5.

“I don’t think I knew I was lonely until I met you.”

6.

“But most of us are too scared to even ask what we want, in case we can’t have it.”

7.

“It’s fascinating. How so much of love is about who you are with someone.”

8.

“Like a good book or an incredible outfit, being on vacation transports you into another version of yourself.”

9.

“It’s not your job to make me happy, okay? You can’t make anyone happy. I’m happy just because you exist, and that’s as much of my happiness as you have control over.”

10.

“I still have a lot to figure out, but the one thing I know is, wherever you are, that’s where I belong. I’ll never belong anywhere like I belong with you.”

11.

“I’m afraid of loving you for our entire lives, and then having to say goodbye.”

12.

“Maybe things can always get better between people who want to do a good job loving each other. Maybe that’s all it takes.”

13.

“Sometimes it feels like I didn’t even exist before that. Like you invented me.”

14.

“I love him so much. I love him more than I did yesterday, and I already know tomorrow I’ll love him even more, because every piece of him he gives me is another to fall in love with.”

15.

“That crush of happiness, that feeling that this is what life’s about: being somewhere beautiful, with someone you love.”
