People We Meet on Vacation (Ch. 1–8): Can Men and Women Really Just Be Friends?

#001: Join us for the premiere episode of A Novel Bunch, where we dive into chapters 1–8 of People We Meet on Vacation—but not before chatting about everything from a Beyoncé concert to awkward texting mishaps.We talk friendship dynamics, social media spirals, and the emotional pull of music and memories. We also tackle the age-old question: can men and women really be just friends? Plus, we unpack Poppy and Alex’s complicated connection, the tension of past summers, and all the messy, magical moments in between. It’s personal, a little chaotic, and a whole lot of fun—just like your favorite book club hangout.
