Rated The Annual Migration of Clouds 10/10

Very good but I certainly hope there's a sequel. Interesting slowpocalypse and main character -- feels mostly YA.

Rated People We Meet on Vacation 8/10

An enjoyable romance easy-to-read book. I picked this up as part of a local book club's June read and once I had it and reading over the summary I thought: this sounds very familiar... I mean, romance books often have very common plots, but that wasn't the case here. Turns out only a month or 2 earlier I'd watched the film adaptation! It even had the same title and somehow I'd not connected the 2 until I was reading that summary. Usually if I know a movie is a book adaptation I try to read the book first, but in this case I didn't know.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed the book and appreciated how much the film was fairly faithful to it. Some things got moved around and some locations were, let's say, more glamorous with that Netflix cash. All enjoyable either way. The core of it was the relationship and the places were just the backdrop against which everything happened. I will say that with the book and the internal thoughts of Poppy I found her more irritating than I did in the movie, but not overly so. I did come away thinking, before the ending, more negatively of the character from the book than I had from the movie.<br/><br/>I also appreciated the back and forth time changes leading up to what caused all the problems that are slowly revealed as past and present come to a head. It's good the movie stuck to that too.<br/><br/>All in all, an easy romance book that even if you're not that into the genre doesn't go into too many tropes nor gets too soapy or, not an issue with me but, too lurid as some people object to that.
