I love the picturesque town painted in the pages of Funny Story even more than the main couple. Although Miles and Daphne’s story is charming and relatable, the town itself is the star. I could almost taste the seasonal fruits and veggies, hear the waves of the lake, feel summer on my skin. At this point, Emily Henry might end up being responsible for single-handedly doubling the population of Michigan. This is a perfect late spring/early summer romance but, like most romance novels, it’s pretty standard and predictable. The dialogue is good though, and made me laugh out loud several times.
