兩位「好朋友」,10趟夏日旅程,最後一次面對彼此真正感受的機會⋯
就如《當哈利遇上莎莉》般,帶你進入一段溫馨的愛情之旅
Poppy跟Alex兩個人,說真的,從裡到外找不出任何共通點。一個總是喜歡把自己打扮得花花綠綠,一個全年就是101件的卡其褲加T恤穿搭;一個老愛在外頭趴趴走,一個寧願宅在家裡靜靜看完一本書。但偏偏就是這樣的兩個人,在一趟從大學回俄亥俄州的共乘後,意外地變成彼此最好的朋友,還立下了每年夏日都一定要空出時間來旅行的約定。儘管出社會後,Poppy跑到了紐約當旅遊類的網紅寫手,而Alex留在俄亥俄當平凡的高中老師,十年來,每個夏日之旅都絕對不會落下,直到那次的爭吵⋯
兩年過去,兩個人完全斷絕聯繫,Poppy開始對於眼前這個所謂「人生勝利組」的人生提不起任何興趣。有人問了她一個直擊心靈深處的問題:「你最近一次感受到真正快樂,是什麼時候?」
她一直都知道答案是什麼。拿起手機,再次聯繫Alex。這次不能再讓這位「最好的朋友」淡出自己的人生了,必須好好正視橫擺在兩人關係中間的那個「事實」,絕對不能出錯⋯

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read 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 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.
