About this listen

People We Meet on Vacation is officially on screen… and romance readers are divided.

In today’s episode of Book Bits & Chill, we’re diving into the People We Meet on Vacation book to movie adaptation. Are we book-to-screen purists or sympathizers? What did Hollywood change, and did those changes actually work?
