People We Meet on Vacation

Two writers, one elusive subject, and a month to uncover a lifetime of secrets.

Alice Scott, a perpetually optimistic writer on the verge of her big break, and Hayden Anderson, a brooding, Pulitzer-winning author, find themselves on Little Crescent Island, both vying for the opportunity of a lifetime: to pen the biography of the infamous Margaret Ives. A tragic heiress and former tabloid darling from a legendary family, Margaret has remained hidden for years, and now, she's ready to tell her story – but only to one of them.

Margaret proposes a challenging proposition: a one-month trial. As Alice and Hayden navigate Margaret's fragmented memories and a strict NDA that forbids collaboration, an undeniable spark ignites between them. But with Margaret holding all the cards, they soon realize that the truth, like the story itself, is a shifting narrative. Will their connection deepen as they unravel the mystery of Margaret Ives, or will the competition – and the secrets they unearth – tear them apart? In Emily Henry's dazzling novel, the path to truth is paved with ambition, longing, and the realization that every story has more than one way to be told.
