While every rom-com written after When Harry Met Sally stands on the shoulders of the legendary film, People We Meet on Vacation has a closer connection to the beloved 1980s love story than most.
According to Emily Henry, When Harry Met Sally was “hugely influential in writing People We Meet on Vacation.” She shared in a recent interview with What to Watch on Netflix, “One of the first kernels of the book for me was thinking, ‘Oh, it would be fun to take When Harry Met Sally, and sort of gender swap them a little bit.’ Have the more uptight, neurotic character be the male lead, and have the female lead be more brazen and funny, and a little bit annoying.”
