Book Lovers was my first Emily Henry book and it was an easy 5-star for me. Then I read Beach Read and that one unfortunately fell flat. So I was a bit hesitant in starting Funny Story, but I'm so glad I did because WOW. This was so so good and it's become my new favorite EmHen book.

First of all, the premise itself was unique and Emily executed it brilliantly. The found family aspect, especially Daphne and Ashleigh's friendship was heartwarming.

Daphne's character resonated with me on so many levels. She's definitely my favorite EmHen FMC so far. It was refreshing to see Daphne remain open to love with Miles, rather than allowing Peter's actions to close her off completely. Her journey from heartbreak to self-discovery was beautiful to read.

And Miles, wow! I did NOT like him at first, but, like Daphne, he sure did grow on me. I absolutely loved him by the end! And though he's such a sunshine-y character, I appreciated that Emily showed us he's every bit as complex as Daphne is.

Their slow-burn romance unfolded so naturally and was believable despite the chaotic circumstances which brought them together in the first place. Their connection felt genuine and earned.

Funny Story is a love letter to libraries. I admittedly looked up how to become a librarian after finishing this book 🤭

A story of second chances, self-discovery, and the family we choose. Emily nails the perfect blend of humor, heart, and character growth. Funny Story is a must-read that'll leave you smiling long after the last page.
