Why Emily Henry Says People We Meet on Vacation Movie Changes the Book

“I
also
think
there’s
something
really
cool
about
them
getting
to
see
content
that
is
not
directly
from
the
book,
but

could

be
from
the
book,”
Henry
explained.
“I
think
it’s
sort
of
an
expansion
of
the
universe
in
a
way
that’s
really
fun.”

“It’s
all
so
good
and
it’s
different,
but
it’s
different
in
a
way
that
still
feels
like
very
at
one
with
the
book,”
she
stressed.
“It
doesn’t
feel
like
it’s
not
a
faithful
adaptation.”

While
fans
will
have
to
wait
a
bit
longer
to
see
Alex
and
Poppy
on
the
big
screen,
they
can
still
catch
glimpses
of
the
duo
in
Henry’s
books—including
in

her
new
novel

Great
Big
Beautiful
Life

(out
now).
Although,
readers
will
have
to
dig
deep
to
find
the
reference
amid
the
pages
as
writers
Alice
Scott
and
Hayden
Anderson
compete
to
be
named
reclusive
heiress
Margaret
Ives’
official
biographer—and
possibly
fall
in
love.

“There’s
one
in
this
book
that
I
can
remember
that
I’m
excited
for
them
to
catch
that’s
so
tiny,
but
it
is
an
Easter
egg
pointing
to
Poppy
and
Alex,”
she
teased.
“There’s
a
reference
to
them.”

Not
to
mention
their

nod
in
her
2025
novel



Funny
Story
.

“My
favorite
one
is
in

Funny
Story
,
and
it
also
points
to
Poppy
and
Alex,”
Henry
continued.
“But
it
is
discrete
enough
I
don’t
know
if
anyone
knows
that
Poppy
and
Alex
are
literally
on
the
page
at
one
point.”
