A review by evelync
Funny Story by Emily Henry

5.0

Daphne thought she and Peter had the rest of their lives perfectly planned—that is until he realized he was in love with his childhood best friend, Petra, leaving her heartbroken and with an unexpected roommate in Petra's ex, Miles Nowak. As they navigate their shared heartbreak they begin to form a genuine friendship with one another that eventually leads to more. 

I think this is Emily Henry’s funniest and maybe even her most romantic book yet! The banter was top-notch like always, like it truly had me giggling and kicking my feet. The way that Daphne and Miles’ friendship and eventual relationship developed felt so natural and honest to them. They constantly showed up for one another in the ways that the other person needed. And I just loved seeing Daphne build her own life in this town. 

I have to go back and reread all of Emily Henry’s books, but I really do think this is my new favorite, after Beach Read, of course. 

Thank you to Berkley for this e-arc.
