Vacation Wars

Average rating3.6
I liked Tessa and Myles a lot, their storyline was fun. Her sister was terrible until the end of the book, though the “oh we've grown apart and need to try harder” realization for the friendship group - and trying to turn that around - slightly fixed that. The sisters felt like actual fleshed-out humans, the friends were more shallow, but the interactions with Roxane just made me tense and no RL Tessa should put up with that nonsense. I know it happens, I have put up with that type of behavior, but oof, that was painful.
I'm giving this 5 stars and no one can stop me.
This book was the vacation to Greece I've yet to book for myself. I've been binging Mamma Mia and Un Cuento Perfecto, both of them (OBVIOUSLY) happening in Greece and I had to start this book afterwards.
I loved Tessa and Myles. Both of them. I saw myself in Tessa way too much and the Myles was just perfect. Like, where can I find myself a Myles in real life?
The way their story developed and the third act breakup? Shall I say this was Meghan's best third act break up from all her books (that I've read)? If not the best, my favourite at the very least.
Family is always one of those complicated topics. We've been taught that family comes before everything but what about when family is costing you your happiness? This book I feel tackled that in such a beautiful way, I feel this is where my need to give it 5 stars comes from.
The tone of this book was quite different from all the other Meghan books I've read but still keeping the funny, laugh out loud moments.
When I tell you she is one of my favourite authors, I'm not joking.
Anyways, anyone wanna come to Greece with me? Looking for a friend :')
