It's almost "People We Meet on Vacation" time.

Based on the novel of the same name by bestselling author Emily Henry, the film adaptation charts the lives (and summer vacations) of best friends Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth) over the course of a decade.

While the pair start as friends, viewers see inklings of something more between "free-spirit" Poppy, a travel writer in a rut, and "routine-loving" Alex, a high school English teacher, as the story progresses.

Things change when the two share an awkward yet romantic moment on vacation, which drives them apart for years, until Poppy gets the courage to ask Alex if he's up for one last trip together.

"The careful balance of their friendship is put to the test when they begin to question what has been obvious to everyone else — could they actually be the perfect romantic match?" a logline from Netflix reads.

Here's everything we know about "People We Meet on Vacation," including its release date.
