I truthfully don’t think I can properly convey what this book did for me. It moved me to tears as I listened and related to Daphne and Miles face their pasts and traumas. I smiled as I thought about my partner and while I read about Daphne and Miles being able to learn to be together while dealing with their personal struggles. I felt validated as I listened to each of them talk about how hard it is having relationships with family members who should be there for you but aren’t. Most of all, I loved that this book doesn’t promise a happily ever after. It showed the realistic world view that life can suck sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful and filled with people we love and cherish. I listened to 95% of Funny Story on audio and immediately went out to buy the book so I can reread it for years to come.
100% worth the hype! Read it! 💙
